I guess "machinery" is a singular word that shouldn't pluralised, so
{'oH} it is.

{Qap} vIlo'qa' vIneHbe'. But I guess Klingons have less aversion to
repeating the same word than we do.

This was discussed recently in another thread. There's a Klingon line

would be {pat chach}, i.e., "the system's backup", or "backup of the
system".
