[tlhIngan Hol] The book of our good captain

[mayqel qunenoS]

{chay' Duj chenmoHlu' 'e' vISov vIneH}

If we disregard the {chay'}, then we have "I want to know that someone
creates a ship".

According to what was written so far, the {chay'} produces : "how do I
want to know that someone creates a ship ?"

Which doesn't make sense.
