The fact that we can't do that simple thing in klingon irritates me.
*pIm Holmey pIm. * If you want to signify that the altar is dedicated to someone important, you could try repeating the referent each time: *Qun lat*, *joH'a'* *lat*, etc. Or use a longer phrase: *qeylIS quvmoHmeH lat*. By seeing that the referent is continually mentioned, the reader will hopefully conclude that they're someone important. (*ghaH lat* might have a similar effect, because it's an unusual phrasing, but that suggestion would no doubt be controversial.)
