vuvHa' and so on!

Thanks for the feed back! I'm loving it!!! And even though my ego becomes a
bit bruised I am thick skinned.
vay'vaD vuvHa' vIHechbe'chu.
Your consturction was much better. I was trying to slide through a verb
construction for an adjective (even though I know that Klingon HAS NO
ADJECTIVES). Sort of a play on the verbs expressing state of quality -- A
stretch perhaps, but since I don't know if it had been tried before I figured
it might warrent a little bit of discussion. The intent of my sentence was "I
definitely intend not it be disrespect*FUL* to anyone."
poHvaD Dochmey puS vIyu'.
The "yu'" was indeed intentional. This statement was in reference to
something and I was interrogating in a way about the sentence. My intent was
"I will interrogate less things [sentences and words others write] with time."
As is obvious from my other stuff -- I have a problem expressing the
prepositional phrases using "with". Someone told me once that "-vaD" could be
used not only as "for" or "to", but also as with.
"-ghach" don't you just love the word! Sometimes when I type I sound the
words and the "gh" sound comes out sometimes as "grr" and my brain goes dead
and I grach a lot! I am afraid that I zoned out a lot of the whole "-ghach"
controversy. All I can remember was that "-ghach" was suppose to equate to
"-ness" or "-tion". As I reread HolqeD I see the error of my ways -- I had
the section 9 in David Barron's Klingon Language Postal Course kind of imbeded
in my subconscious, "-ghach nominalizer This suffix, like the suffix -wI',
allows you to turn a verb into a noun, even if the noun has other suffixes
attached." I guess that the section has been fixed and clarified since the
copy I have was sent out. Were the other mistakes also corrected? Maybe I
need to try for a new copy.

I look forward to the day I can start putting these things together without
having to rack my brains out.

The satire was noted and appreciated -- I find sarcasm quite humorous!
Maybe if I say it enough you'll all believe it!!! I do everything with
honor ---- I do everything with honor ---- I do everything with honor ----
I do everything with honor ---- I do everything with honor ---- I do
everything with honor
How about a "-nes" for good measure -- batlh Satlho'neS. Or am I going from
bad to worse!!!
