Missing from E-K side of TKD. (I wonder where it is?)

Okrand from the startrek.klingon newsgroup:

I wonder if you speak Klingon.

The fourth example is weird from an English translation point of view, but it falls right in line in Klingon.  If the English translation matched the pattern of the other three sentences, it would be "I wonder that you speak Klingon."  In English, this means something like "I'm surprised that you speak Klingon" or "I don't understand how it can be that you speak Klingon," but this is not what the Klingon sentence means.  The Klingon sentence means something more like "I am curious about whether you speak Klingon."  The clumsiness here is the English, not the Klingon.
