As SuStel has noted=2C we really don't have a lot of canon that uses what w=
e'd think of as a full range of punctuation (or punctuation at all)=2C so h=
ow you use your punctuation is really a matter of what you think will help =
your Klingon to make the most sense. Using a comma here is absolutely fine =
and not using it would also be absolutely fine.
In terms of the word order=2C again=2C as SuStel has said=2C it's perfect. =
Personally=2C I think of such appositions as being parallel to titles in Kl=
ingon more generally: {cheng Sa'} "General Chang"=2C {ghawran Qang} "Chance=
llor Gowron"=2C {tlha'a HoD} "Captain Klaa".
(Or {HoD Qanqor HoD}... but that's another story!)
