I don't have much to say. This is really a nitpick, but can one {Sov} a
{Qe'}? Many languages distinguish between different kinds of knowing
(kennen vs. wissen), although Klingon seems not to. What does it mean to
"know" a restaurant? Do you mean {Qe' tu'lu' 'e' Sov}, that you know it
exists? You "know of" the restaurant, is that {Sov}?

And even if it made sense, would it be something a Klingon would say?

- Qe' vISov.
- wejpuH. Doj SovlIj. jISaHbe'.

- Qe' vIchup.
- Ha'! maghoS.

- Qe' wIghoS.
- lu'.
