But I don't think "lie on her stomach" works that way in Klingon. This
is describing orientation rather than location. We have the
{QongDaqDaq Qotbe' tlhInganpu'} example to tell us one valid location
of {Qot}, and it isn't a body part. More relevantly, the ST5 notes
render "Romulan women belong on their backs" as {DungDaq legh 'ej
QotnIStaH romuluSngan be'pu'}, instead of using a more straightforward
but apparently incorrect {DubDaq Qot}.

I might use a phrasing similar to the ST5 sentence, or I might try
{QotchoH 'eSSIm. yav Hot burghDaj}, or {SaSchoH 'eSSIm...}.
