That should read {jagh lucharghlu'bogh HuH ...} "the conquered enemy's
bile". {lagh} is an "ensign"!
More canon:

Cf. the derived noun {charghwI'} "victor, conqueror".
Cf. also the phrases {Qapbej} (Hallmark) or {yay chav} "achieve victory"
(TKW) and the verb {ghatlh} "dominate". There's no noun meaning
"conquest", but {yay} "victory, triumph" will sometimes work.
