Anything and everything works, as long as it's grammatical, which this is,
and it's not obviously misunderstood. {qetHa'} is almost certainly a novel
word, although with as many man-hours as Klingon has been spoken, and as limited
as my experience is, this is just a guess. In other words, it works as long as
nobody complains. Then you can either defend your way, or try to find a
different, "better" way. When there's no canon to support your usage, just go
with it.
