The fact that we can't do that simple thing in klingon irritates me.

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.)
