ghItlhpu' Qov :

> jeghbe’wI’ ghaHmo’ wotvaD mojaq <-lI’>.

jeghbe'wI' = one who does not surrender
ghaHmo' = because he/him
wotvaD = for verb
mojaq {-lI'} = suffix {-lI'}

<the suffix {-lI'} for the verb because he/him is one who does not surrender> ?

what is this sentence supposed to mean ? I can't figure out, how it is
to be translated in english.
