While I don’t disagree with anything in this discussion, for myself, if I wanted to emphasize the Romulans, I’d just say {jaghpu’ chaH RomuluSnganpu’’e’}. Why is, “As for the enemies, they are the ROMULANS,” preferable to “The Romulans are our enemies.” It’s more straightforward. Saying it the other way is kinda fancy-assed for Klingon. Language and culture are related. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.

This rings a bell, of something we'd discuss (quite) some time ago.
But I *still* can't understand, which rule prohibits us writing:
romuluSnganpu''e' chaH jaghpu''e' As for the enemies, they are the *romulans*
i.e. placing an emphatic {-'e'} on the first noun of a be sentence.
