If the sentence in English is definitely an imperative and not an indicative, then {tI-} would make sense. However, there’s no reason to believe it’s an imperative, in the absence of further context. If the Klingon sentence has said {yIQotlh}, I’d agree it should probably be {tI-}, but {Da-} works for singular and plural third person objects.

I think the context makes {Hoch (jagh Dujmey)} the most natural interpretation, but {(Hoch jagh) Dujmey} seems like another possible one. {Hoch (jagh) Dujmey} seems weird, but rewording that to {(jagh) Hoch Dujmey} seems weird too.
