pup.
. Nevertheless, your version is still perfect Klingon, and it
does fit the meter of the song better.
Woohooo!! I got one right!!

Enlisting Dlorah's comment, here I change vaj to ghIq, so
jIHvaD ghoplIj Danob
ghIq jIHvaD bIjatlh.
See if you can come up with a good way of recasting "I can hardly
speak": I have one in mind, but I don't want to influence your answer. {{:)

'ach choSovchu'be'
...it's pretty good. Stylistically, I'd suggest inverting {-be'} and {-chu'},
though: {choSovbe'chu'} "you clearly don't know me" preserves the original
sense a little better than {choSovchu'be'} "it's unclear that you know me".
Well, I was looking at the rule that the rover follows the concept being negated, and following the sense that, while you do in fact know me, you don't perfectly know me.So I was trying to negate only the "perfectly" concept.

Very well! And this is one of my favourite songs. {{:) (mine too...I just love the gravelly voice of K'ray of the House of Charles...
