The {qorDu' SaHlu'chugh} is correct. But when it comes to the {matlhlu'chugh} then again things make no sense. [...]
Others have addressed the {-lu'} part, so I'll skip it.
And as if all these weren't enough, when we read past the {vaj} the sentence takes the meaning "then one (or one's) very important klingon virtue" and then period. ?!?!?!
It's generally recognised that whoever transferred Okrand's sentence to the card dropped a verb at the end of that sentence, probably {tu'lu'}. (The Skybox cards were full of minor transcription errors, so we know somebody involved in putting them together had been somewhat careless.) -- De'vID
