I was considering your statement about people forming a macaronic
Klinglish sentence in their head and then translating that. bong

I agree that such a strange interpretation is not useful, and the
fact that Klingons think of it as a pattern and not as oddly
sequenced words is evidenced by the fact that 'u' tIn qIj Hoch tIn
chIS means exactly the same thing.
'u' tIn law' Hoch tIn puS 'e' vIHarnISchugh jImISchoH. Hoch 'ay'
'oHbe' 'u''e'? nuq 'oH 'u''e', Hoch 'oHbe'chugh? 'u' 'oSmeH Hoch,
