I agree that it does sound almost like {'e' naHbe'}. (BTW, this is the only
occasion I know of where {neH} uses {'e'}.) But I'd transcribed the last
word as ?{vavoI'}, almost as though {w} becomes syllabic here.

maQochbe'. {vavoy} is used mostly in direct address in my (limited)
experience. I'd guess that an adult Klingon would never say {DaHjaj vavoy
vIlegh}, even when referring to her/his father in endearing terms.
