It's called a colon <br>

In normal speaking, I wouldn't rely on this. Just put your list in the normal place: *Doch wa', Doch cha', Doch wej je bIH Dochmeyvam'e'.* <br>

I just remembered a canon example from ST5. Only partially used in the film, but from Okrand's notes:<br>
<br>
vubpu' jonta' HeSwI'. wa' vub ghaH tlhIngan gharwI''e'. wa' ghaH tera'ngan'e'.<br>
<br>
I don't have the translation at hand, I'd say this would use a colon in English:<br>
<br>
"Hostages have been taken: One Klingon diplomat and one Terran."<br>
