The explanation seems fairly clear to me. What grammatical role does<br>
{Soch DIS vorgh} play in that sentence? It's either missing a verb<br>
({qaStaHvIS}) that relates it to the rest of the sentence, or it's<br>
missing a noun which would turn it into a time stamp ({poH}).<br>

<br>
No, I don't think a ruling from Maltz is necessary here. Nothing in<br>
the known grammar of Klingon allows you to stick a period of time like<br>
{Soch DIS vorgh} in front of a sentence like you want.<br>
