ghItlhpu' De'vID, jatlh:

Perhaps just {lop} "they celebrate" rather than {lulop} "they celebrate it"?

I actually think {potlhqu'nIS qepvam} captures the sense well here. No issue
with {-nIS} that I would raise, though my canon database is no help.

> KIRK: naDev maHchugh Hoch, nuqDaq ghaH *Sulu*'e'?
{naDev maHchugh Hoch} grates because of the overt and hence third-person noun
despite the first-person pronoun; it feels mismatched. Also, you're missing
{-'e'} in the first clause. Maybe replace {Hoch} with {Hoch maH'e'}?

{chav} {rInmoH} ghap Daqelpu''a'?

Watch your suffix ordering: {lutlhIllaw'mo'}, {yepHa'law'mo'}.
> maS Qaw'lu'mo' lamqu'choH yuQ muDchaj 'ej HeghchoHmoH[2].
I have no problem with {HeghchoHmoH}. What do you think about {SuQchoH}
"begin to be toxic" for "pollute", instead of {lamqu'choH}?
> qaSpu'DI' vaghmaH tera' DISHeymey[3] loj yInSIpchaj.
I think {vaghmaHHey} is okay, though I'd be tempted just to say {vaghmaH
tera' DISmey} and forget the approximation altogether.
> 'Iqmo' Huch'e' poQbogh QI',
I'd say {QI'chaj}, just to be clear whose military's being talked about.
> yapbe' tlhIngan Huch jo 'ej lotvam luma'ruplaHbe'[4].
Agreed, I'm not sure {ma'} is quite the right word... How about {jey}?
I like what you've done with {-ruplaHbe'} here, by the way.
> wen mutungHa'mo' vulqangan Duy'a',
{wa'wen}, with or without a space.
> maja'chuq jIH ghorqan[5] je.
I don't think we have it in canon, but for my part, since Gorkon is
played by a speaker of English English I'm going to plead for {ghorqon}
here, which is also the form used in the Klingon Hamlet.
