read it like this:
tlhoy {qagh vISop}
too much "I eat gagh"

{qagh 'Iq} vISop
"too much gagh" I eat.

Maybe I could help you to confuse people,
'cause I'm sure one can use both words in one sentence:

   {tlhoy yIH 'Iq vIlegh}
   "I overly see too many tribbles."
i.e. I see too many tribbles, and this happens too often.
