*chab vIDIl: vagh DeQ.*

*chab vIDIl; vutwI'vaD vagh DeQ vInob.*

Compare with the efficiency of the English:

/I pay five credits for a pie./

/I pay the baker five credits for a pie./

I don't see any problem with efficiency. We know that Klingon will 
happily shove separate concepts together without any grammatical 
relationship except "shoved together," and consider it a new concept.
