Oh, Qu'vatlh. Now I have to reconsider the translation of "Go to jail",
for Monopoly. Here's what I think. More experienced Klingonists can attack
when they desire. I know I'm very rarely right.
ghoS - used when moving in the general direction of something, and
jaH - used when going to fulfil a purpose, or because you were ordered.
Does this sound feasible? This means that Okrand's "go to jail" would be
different, though, which would not really be nice.
