My intention was is the last one, though remember, *-qu'* doesn't only 
mean /a lot,/ it also (and perhaps primarily) intensifies the element 
it's attached to. I intended the intensification. /For SPEAKING (as 
opposed to something else) Klingon is more complete than Quenya./ The 
something else is described in the next sentence: *mu' mung qun je 
HaDmeH*/for studying word origin and history./

If you interpreted *jatlhqu'meH tlhIngan Hol* as a *-meH*'d noun (I did 
not intend that), you'd still get more less the same meaning. /Klingon 
for SPEAKING (as opposed to something else) is more complete than 
Quenya./ The *-qu'* wouldn't mean quite what I wanted, though, since I 
wasn't comparing Klingon for speaking with Klingon for studying word 
origins; I was comparing Klingon versus Quenya for speaking and Klingon 
versus Quenya for word origins.
