hrm... i remember from my Klingon class that there was one or two
exceptions to this rule, but offhand i don't know what they are.
glancing through a list of verbs from class notes, i see the verb
{Qapla'} (v, win), but i can't find that verb in TKD and have no idea
where it came from. (may have been a mistake in the handouts or
something.)
anyone know of other bisyllabic verbs, ie, from the tapes or published in
HolQeD issues? or something from TKD i've overlooked?
