QeS:

>extraordinarily useful in Klingon. {qaStaHvIS nI' poH tlhIngan Hol
>vIjatlhbe'pu'} "I have not spoken Klingon for a long time".

{qaStaHvIS poH nI' ...}  Cf. KGT p.121:

      wa'maH cha' pemmey wa'maH cha' rammey je
     ("twelve days and twelve nights")

    This is a rather long-winded way to say "a long time" (which
    would be {poH nI'} in nonidiomatic speech).
