• tlhIngan 'IH qaD DaQap. Win Klingon beauty contest. [2012-03-02-Email]

The beauty contest one is from the sentence tlhIngan 'IH qaD DaQap Win Klingon Beauty Contest. I'm not sure if *'IH qaD can be separated out as a noun meaning beauty contest (which would imply the existence of *'IH n. beauty). It can also be parsed as tlhIngan 'IH plus qaD, that is, a contest for a beautiful Klingon, so 'IH is probably a verb here. /De'vID
