I disagree with Lieven's grouping. I believe that it *is* a question as the object of {neH}, which works fine since the intended meaning is to ask a question.
and why don't we just write : {bItlhutlh ghorgh DaneH} thus avoiding the confusion ?
Because that would be asking "when" about the wanting, not about the drinking.
also I just noticed this contradiction on the following three sentences, from the klingonska article:
yan 'ISletlh muv 'Iv DaneH Qang. - Chancellor, who do you want for the Yan-Isleth? nuq vIjatlh DaneH. - What do you want me to say? Qang HoHta' 'Iv 'e' Dalegh. - Who did you see kill the Chancellor?
on the first and third sentence, the {'Iv} is placed before the {neH} and {'e'} respectively. why on the second it is being placed at the beginning of the sentence ?
Objects come before the verb. Subjects come after. But you know that already, so I'm not sure what your question really is. -- ghunchu'wI'
