You're right, thank you for the reminder, forgot I was joining nouns. And it's 
back to the proverbial drawing-board in order to draft a new version. Maybe I 
should have either used {je} or repeated "I will chase him" each time. I'll 
try {je}.

Maybe something like this is better.

{mubechmoH ghaH'e'. mubechmoH 'ej vIghaj.
ghaH vIjeghpa' *Nibia* maSmey retlhDaq, *Antares* vertaHbogh vIHtaHghach'a' 
retlhDaq, ghe''or qulmey retlhDaq je vItlha'!}

I guess the quote could be reasonably obscure, but there are Trekkers to be 
found studying Klingon. It's from the Wrath of Khan movie, and Khan was 
paraphrasing the language of the book Moby Dick. So I'm trying to translate 
English from the 1800's with references to strange locations in space. Never 
let it be said I only take easy challenges.
