<div>Hi!</div><div><br></div>I've read your translation. I don't know the original version of that song or poem. I am also only a beginner in Klingon so please be patient with me :)<div><br></div><div>Saying {qoH'a' loDnal}, did you mean foolish husband ? according to what I've read in TKD such a construction should be understood as N1's N2 or alternatively N2 of N1. TKD page 30 chapter 3.4. So in that case it seems to be fool's husband or husband of the fool (or great/huge fool {-'a'}). Please correct me if I'm wrong. Wouldn't loDnal Doghqu' suit here better ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>What did you mean by Sor nItlh ? Wooden stick ? Wooden finger ?</div><div><br></div><div>tIqHa'qu' ? was it supposed to mean too long ?</div><div><br></div><div>Shouldn't there be {-moH} in sentence: {chay’ taj vIjej, lIySa’} ? how knife I'm sharp ? {chay' taj vIjejmoH, lIySa'} That's breaks number of syllabes in that line though. That would apply to the whole verse.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Same about {jejmeH nagh let yIlo’}, although I'm not entirely sure here. {jejmoHmeH nagh let yIlo'} ? Whole verse again.</div><div><br></div><div>In {chay’ yIQ vIqeng, lIySa’} didn't you want to say {bIQ} - water ?. Whole verse again.</div>

Took me several hours to translate this, recasting some as I went,
but I think I got the gist. Thanks to matlh for a particular
vocabulary word!<br>
