Shouldn't that be "tlhIngan Hol pojwI'"?  In Klingon, the
possessor/modifier comes first (as if there were a 's on it in English).
Thus, "tlhIngan Hol pojwI'" is "Klingon's lanaguage's analyzer" or
"analyzer of the Klingon language", while "pojwI' tlhIngan Hol" is
"analyzer's Klingon's language" or "Klingon language of analyzer(s)".

Just a thought...
