[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: ghu

[mayql qunenoS]

qaH ! qaH ! qanuQ 'e' vIpay 'a tagha' tamqu'choH ghulI' 'e' DachavlaH ?
sir ! sir ! I regret to bother you, but can you make it so (achieve
it) that your baby finally shuts up ?

bIlobHa'chugh vaj HomDu'lIj vIghor jay'..
if you disobey I will break your f** bones..

qaStaHvIS cha'maH loS rep jIvumpu' 'ej jIQong 'e' vItuch ghuvam..
I worked for 24 hours and this baby forbids that I sleep..

tam'eghnISchoH ghaH ghuvaD 'e' DaghojmoHQo'chugh vaj DujlIj vIQaw'.
if you don't teach your baby that it needs to become quiet I will
destroy your ship.

this makes me wonder whether one can combine a SAO with an indirect
object and if yes how.. let alone that perhaps I don't understand what
an indirect object actually is. in the sentence above is the {ghuvaD}
the indirect object ? and if yes, where is it supposed to go ? before
the {'e'} or before the {tam'eghnISchoH} ?
