I would understand "something that is a problem". Am I wrong ?

vungwI' something that hurricanes.

No, qay'wI' is something that is a problem. But you were having trouble understanding vungwI', so ghunchu'wI' compared it to qay'wI', which you use all the time.

Personally, I wouldn't use qay'wI' as often as you do, and wouldn't at all for hurricane. I wouldn't say qay'wI' vIghaj or qay'wI' tu'lu'; I'd say qay' vay'. I WOULD use qay'wI' in a sentence like qay'wI' yIngu' Identify the thing that is a problem. But once that had been identified, I would at most use it as an adjectival verb: jolvoy' qay' vItI' I fix the problematical transporter ionizer unit. Klingon likes precision.

It's not wrong. It's just not using Klingon in its strongest way.
