(I missed the beginning of the exchange, so this may be irrelevant).
That seems far, far too verbose even to my untrained ear. On the
model of A Q law' B Q puS, I would naturally (but perhaps wrongly)
try to say something like "as for speaking Klingon, I am good, Kruge
is good". But how??? Off the top of my Klingon Dictionary:
tlhInganHol jatlhchugh (or should it be: jatlhlu'chugh?) QaQ Quqe 'ej
jIQaQje
