Hmm… the inverse happened when these famous lines were translated

From the original Klingon of SeQpIr (cf. TKW p.131):

 

cheqotlhchugh maHaghbe''a'?

cheDuQchugh mareghbe''a'?

cheQIHchugh manoDbe''a'?

Tickle us, do we not laugh?

Prick us, do we not bleed?

Wrong us, shall we not seek revenge?

cha'logh «DapIH» DaghItlhta'. «-chugh» 'ut Hutlhlaw'.

Leaving off {-chugh} seems to be a common error among advanced speakers of Klingon. I wonder if there's a linguistic theory that explains this phenomenon.
