<p dir="ltr">You're right. I wrote it intentionally however, because I remember that the alien was speaking telepathically through the human, around the neck of whom, he had wrapped his tentacle. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I felt that the {roj.. Qo' roj..} expressed better (thought grammatically wrong) the alien's aggression at the moment the event was taking place. After all who expects an alien to be able to speak fluently english ? (or klingon..) hehehe. However, I should have noted that my breaking of the rules was intentional (muqeHHa'jaj qeylIS) ! hahaha</p>

<p dir="ltr">hmm.. I hadn't thought that {Hegh} is intransitive (case in which the {-eghmoH} would come into play !) I dropped the ball on this one (as americans say).. </p>
<p dir="ltr">if I had however thought of this problem, I would have gone with a sweet and simple {peHoH'egh}. I like it because it simple, direct, and most of all it reminds me of the beautiful, beautiful, oh so beautiful "go scr*@*@ yourselves" ! hehehe</p>

<p dir="ltr">Obviously this means "what do you want us to do"; but isn't this a question as object ?</p>

<p>Obviously, <b>Qo' roj</b> isn't the way to say <i>no peace.</i>

verb.</p>

<p>There's a bit of a quandary! On the one hand, one normally has to
use <b>-'egh</b> and <b>-moH</b> when making a verb of quality
into a command, but <b>peHegh'eghmoH</b> <i>make yourselves die!</i>
is obviously not what the alien has in mind.</p>
<p>Here's my unclipped attempt:<br>
