  For `taHqeq` <my> analyser comes up with:
C:\LIT\KL>r
[Klingon -> English autotranslater, version of 23 Apr 1993]
Kl?taHqeq
- S:$%^&_epithet*
- V:be_at_negative_angle V:[practise|train|prepare]
- V:be_at_negative_angle N:drill_mil
- V:[continue|go_on|endure]* V:[practise|train|prepare]
- V:[continue|go_on|endure]* N:drill_mil
Kl?#s
  i.e. whoever it was on TNG said "You speak the lies of someone who does his
army-drill at a negative angle!" or ?"You speak the lies of someone who does
army-drill (continuously / all the time)!"?
