From my point of view, <muQatlh> means 'He/She/It is difficult me',
which doesn't make much sense. The word <Qatlh> doesn't include a
prepositional meaning, like 'to' or 'for'. <loS>, wait (for), does,
but it's one of an extreme few, so far as I know. I understand that
what was probably meant was 'It is difficult for me', but this needs to
be written a different way in Klingon. (Please correct me if I'm wrong,
BG et al.) <jIH'e', Qatlh (ghu'vam)> or even perhaps <jIHvaD Qatlh>
would come closer.
