[Tlhingan-hol] A tribute to the dark lord

This was from a scene in Star Trek VI. From what I understand, one of
the actors simply couldn't remember his line, and they had to shoot
the scene many times, leading MO to shorten some of the other actors'
lines to make it easier to reshoot. Despite that, the flubbed line was
still in the final cut, though.

This is the dialogue from that scene:

KERLA: DIHIvlaHtaHvIS DaH DIHIvnIS.
GENERAL #1: DIHIvbe'chugh qo'chajDaq toywI''a' DImoj.
GENERAL #2: [completely flubbed line]
AZETBUR: ghu'maj Dayajbe'law', Sa'.  notlh veS 'a tugh manotlhchoH je maH.
GENERAL #1: QamvIS Hegh qaq law' torvIS yIn qaq puS.
AZETBUR: 'e' neHbe' vavoy.

(I wonder if Klingon is the constructed language with the highest
proportion of changes made to it due to film-making editorial demands,
or if other languages like Dothraki and Na'vi are similar?)
