No. *tlhIngan maH; taHjaj* is not a sentence as object as defined by 
TKD. It is two sentences, pushed together because they're closely related.

You /could/ put dependent clauses on either of these sentences and it 
would still be grammatical (though it would mean something else).

*maquvchugh tlhIngan maH; taHjaj
tlhIngan maH maquvchugh; taHjaj
*/If we are honorable, we are Klingon; may it continue./

*tlhIngan maH; maquvchugh taHjaj
tlhIngan maH; taHjaj maquvchugh
*/We are Klingon; if we are honorable, may it continue./

When I say "dependent clause," I mean a verbal clause with a type 9 
suffix on the verb that makes it need to have a main clause. These are 
described in TKD as "subordinate clauses," "relative clauses," and 
"purpose clauses."
