(I've been interpreting {vIng} as indicating a complaining attitude,
but I now recognize it as just referring to a sound.)

*lu*ngu'chu'

There might be some logic in considering the combination of the three
to be a single thing, but that's an awfully subtle thing to try to
express intentionally with what looks like a common grammatical error.

If the ID info is in its own area at the bottom of the screen, such as
white text on a black bar below the image, this is fine. If it's an
overlay on the picture, {bIng} is probably not the right word.

wa'maH ben Sogh ghaH'a' qImyal'e'? va, QI' patlh tetlh vIHaDnISqu'.
DaHjaj Sa''e' ghaH. pIm Sa' Sogh je.

Before I looked up {Sogh} and went back to review an earlier chapter,
I was ready to express surprise that she hadn't been promoted in
thirty years. I wonder if there's a correlation between my difficulty
remembering faces and my similar difficulty with ranks. {Sa'} and
{Sogh} are just military words with no distinct meaning to me. It's
not just a matter of failing to remember their translation. "General"
and "Lieutenant" are just as vague and undifferentiated in my mind as
are most celebrities' faces.

(I complain about {wej} sometimes, but occasionally it amuses me.)
