As a side-note, literally trying to translate “You and what army”, or more properly “You and which army” can’t be done directly, since there is no Klingon question word for “which”, and {nuq} only works as a noun, not an adjective in Klingon.

{tuHIv SoH 'Iv je?}, literally, "You and who will attack me?"
