> I found a sentence in the paq'batlh that I think might either contain a syntactical error, a new usage of a verb or simply a> structure that I cannot parse. It's on page 144-5, Canto 16, 2nd verse:
>> tlhIngan wo' nur ghob je> HoSmoH quvvam
> che'DI' molor nur ghob je pujchoHpu'
>> With it, I restore pride and values
> Of the Klingon Empire, for under Molor,
> They have grown weak and faint.


It does appear to be an error, but I will instead interpret it as a noun-noun as in the first line.  
"The Klingon Empire's dignity and virtues are strengthened by this honor.  When Molor's dignity and virtues ruled, they had become weak."
