If the above way was the best way to say "I needed one more fare to make my
night" would the sentence structure be ok? My thinking on it was that since
there is no 'fare' in tlhIngan Hol, the "Qav jIH DIl" should be all together
and act like the verb, with "I needed" as the subject and "before I could
stop" as the object. Is that the right way to think about it?
