chay' 'etlh DoQ nuch
How does a coward claim a sword? (PB)
'etlh DoQDI' meQchu'pu' che'rupbogh
his promised kingdom will be ash by the time he claims the sword (PB)
Since in our two known examples "sword" is the object of DoQ, "territory" is apparently just an example to distinguish one type of claim from another - e.g. "he claims to have cured cancer". See maq "proclaim", ja' "tell, report".
