According to the wisdom of the klingon language, you can't say {joH, yIyItchoHQo'}. Oh, no.. That's wrong..

Why do you think that?

On the other hand, you can't say {joHwI', yIyItchoHQo'} because he isn't your lord either.

That’s not true. In Star Trek III, Saavik addressed Kruge as “my lord”, and she certainly wasn’t a member of his house.

(I think Okrand missed an opportunity to call back to that usage in Into Darkness. Instead of inventing the verb jIyI' I speak respectfully to fit Zoe Saldana’s lip movements, he might have had her say joHwI' and come close enough.)
