[tlhIngan Hol] {yaj} use

One wants to say to another: "I've been fighting during the whole past time, and when I say 'whole past time' I mean 'my entire life'" So I write: qaStaHvIS poH vorgh Hoch, jISuvtaH, 'ej <poH vorgh Hoch> jIjatlhtaHvIS, yInwIj Hoch yIyaj. The question is: Does the {yInwIj Hoch yIyaj} work for "understand 'my entire life'"? Or would it mean "understand my entire life"? Of course, I could say this another way, but my problem is whether this could be done with the {yInwIj Hoch yIyaj}, regardless if it isn't the best choice. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
