In The Klingon Dictionary, {ja'chuq} is explicitly analyzed as "tell
each other". Marc Okrand once suggested that he would say more about
it on the MSN forum, but I don't think he got around to it before the
forum vanished.
My first (and extremely strong) reaction is to say the sentence is not
grammatically correct. Had I seen it in the draft of the text, I would
have had the same reaction.
