This is not a complete sentence, but a phrase answering the question:<br>
<br>
ghorgh lumuch?<br>
When, you ask?<br>
<br>
I think {poH tuj bI'reS nungbogh wa' jaj} is supposed to be "the day before (i.e. preceding) the beginning of the hot period". {bI'reS} is being used in a kind of metaphorical sense - "summer's prologue" as it were.<br>
<br>
<br>
{bI'reS} "beginning (of an opera, play, story, speech, etc.)":<br>
<br>
(HQ 12.2:8-9): For an opera, play, story, speech, and so on, the final portion is its {bertlham}. This word usually refers to the last aria or other musical portion in an opera, last speech in a play, last sentence or so of a story or an address. The {bertlham} of a well-known work is often well-known itself, as is its beginning ({bI'reS}).<br>
For a song-but only for a song-the final portion is its {'o'megh}. Parallel to {bertlham}, {'o'megh} is the final phrase or so of the song, one that brings the song to a definite conclusion. All songs have endings ({'o'meghmey}), some more elaborate or stirring than others ... that portion of the song that comes at the beginning-a portion that is often so familiar that listeners know what song it is after hearing just that short portion-is the {namtun}.<br>
<br>

Klingons of Kronos: sons and daughters of Kahless.<br>
I hail you from Earth.<br>
I am Marc Okrand and I bring you an important message.<br>
We Terrans will be performing an authentic battle opera.<br>
The name of the opera is {'u'}.<br>
{'u'} will be the first authentic battle opera performed<br>
on our planet.<br>
When, you ask?<br>
In the days that follow the summer solstice in the Year<br>
of Kahless 846.<br>
We will place a homing device transmitting this message<br>
at the site of the opera.<br>
We hope that you can send a delegation of honorable<br>
emissaries to witness this glorious event.<br>
We hope you can join us while we honor Kahless.<br>
<br>
There are several errors - possibly typos - in the text published by the producers. The version Okrand supplied may have been better.<br>
