Forgive the continued questions dealing with this post, but:

Why do you use lughmoHghach as opposed to lughghach?
                   ^^^
Secondly, does "qab QoyghachwIj po'ghach 'e' vItu'" refer to the skill of 
my hearing (i.e. the ability to decern the phonemes) or the ability (state 
of deafness).  Is there anyway within Klingon to differentiate the two?
