Can someone explain, how {maleghbe'egh} is different from {malegh'eghbe'}, and how {maleghbe'chuq} is different from {maleghchuqbe'} ?

They mean the same thing. We not-see ourselves versus We do not see-ourselves.

Why not "we see not ourselves"?

You mean we see someone other than ourselves? If -'eghbe' means anything, I expect it means "not reflexive," not "someone other than ourselves." I'm not sure malegh['eghbe'] means anything other than malegh. I would always interpret it as [malegh'egh]be'.

I also think that Klingon grammarians would scoff at the seriousness with which we try to pin meanings and scopes on the rovers.
