"Randy, my glove"? (Sorry, Randy; I know what you meant.)

~mark, don't forget the new little trick Okrand threw in the {Qo'noS} S27
card:
{roD 'oHvaD juHqo' ponglu' neH}
Leaving aside the extraneous {roD} and {neH}, we get {'oHvaD juHqo' ponglu'}.
It seems reasonable that {jIHvaD *Qob* ponglu'} is a legit construction. (I
don't necessarily *like* it as much as {*Qob* 'oH pongwIj'e'}, but there it
is.

Oops. <g> Oh, well, there wasn't a KLBC header for me to remove.
