I remember, a long time ago, I asked how we can express "I just thought.."
At the discussion which followed, the main idea was to say something like {lup puS ret}.
Although I liked this workaround, I felt there was something missing; like a food you may like, but you just can't help feeling that there is an ingredient missing.
Until, just a few minutes ago, perhaps I discovered that missing ingredient..
..which is the word {neH}.
{lup puS neH ret jIQub..} only a few minutes ago I thought..
I think this does the trick, and unless a bird of prey decloaks blowing this workaround out of space, I will add it to my notes and use it like there's no tomorrow.
This sounds like you only think this thought a few minutes ago and not at any other time. You won't think it again.
The definition of *only* at dictionary.com lists four adverb senses for the word. The *neH* that follows Klingon nouns is the first sense: "without others or anything further; alone; solely; exclusively." The *neH* that follows Klingon verbs is the second sense: "no more than; merely; just." The sense you're using here is the third sense: "as recently as." *neH* probably doesn't mean this.
