I have also recently being writing things like 
"meH Daghaj" or "chuyDaH Daghaj'a'?" because it's 
a use of "have" in English in my profession. Or 
in Star Trek "Mr. Spock, you have the conn."

I would expect that.

><juppu'lI''e' tlhIngan Hol jatlhlaH'a' vay'.>

And that.

>Can a house "have" members? Can a city "have" residents?

I would be uneasy about those.

For diseases I would say "pom SIQ" rather than "pom ghaj."

>ja'chuqghach Dun wIghajjaj!

Again, superb essay. I wish we had more examples 
of Marc using unexpected verbs. I'm a little 
disappointed every time Klingon does something the same way as English does it.
