I accept that they are the only two verbs that are explicitly listed
as such. I do not accept the proposition that no other verbs may be
used along with quoted speech. The Great Hall joke from Power Klingon
clearly uses both {tlhob} and {jang} that way:
lutlhob <naDevvo' vaS'a'Daq majaHlaH'a'?>
They ask him, "Can we get to the Great Hall from here?'
jang 'avwI' <lIchopbe'chugh ghewmey.>
The guard answers, "If the bugs do not bite you."
