If you do so, then please still add a note that it is unclear or not
confimed.

I've listend to this so many times, but just can't understand it. But I
also doubt that he says something like {tlhIngan}. But I just don't know.
> {tlhIngan Da-???-pu''a' SoH?} = "Did you [naq?] a Klingon / the Klingon(s)?"
The end is very clear, {-pu''a' SoH.} For the beginning, I hear
something that may also start with {Da-} or {DI-}, which may also be
possible. The number of syllables is also clear, so the closest I can
get is {DI-ya-na-laQpu''a' SoH}

True, he didn't ask for that. Instead of ghoj, maybe she says ghoS,
which would make sense too:
{mughoSmoH parmaqqaywI'.} "he made me come/go here"
