You're quite right; it was I who wrote it incorrectly.
The source is http://klingonska.org/canon/search/?file=2001-06-holqed-10-2.txt&get=source
and it does indeed say qewwI'wIj

qewwI'wIj rIQqa'moH veqlargh!

What is the source of these sentences? I think there has been a
transcription error somewhere. The "Friend of Maltz" article in HolQeD
10:2 spells it {qewwI'wIj}, as expected from the verb {qew} "use the
ring finger".
