Another way to make {-chugh} clear is to note that it is actually part of an "if-then" combination. IF there is not a "then" clause, THEN you should not use {-chugh}. In Klingon (as in English) you don't need to actually use a word for "then" (which, this time, is {vaj}), but whether you use the word or not, you need a "then" clause with {-chugh}.
bIqeqbe'chugh, vaj bIluj. 'ach bIvumqu'chugh, bIDub'egh.
And, yes, this means there are actually three words for "then":
{ghIq} "following that"
{ngugh} "at that same time"
{vaj} "because of that"
