Re: [Tlhingan-hol] qo''e' tu'bogh pagh - 'ay' cha'maH chorgh
While I realize that not every Klingon is a warrior, is would they really refer to a natural death as a "normal death"?
Maybe something like {SutaHmeH/SuyIntaHmeH yaptaHvIS/rInpa' HoSraj, pa' Suratlh[bej/chu'].}?

Well, we know from HQ 7.4 that {yIn} can take an object:

So perhaps {Hegh} does too, and {Hegh motlh boHeghpa' pa' SuratlhlI'}
would work. Or recast as {rInpa' yInraj motlh...}.
