express *equivalnet*. Suggestions wanted.)<
Sorry I don't have a suggestion for you, but this is a good opportunity to bring
up a grammatical form that there absolutely isn't in Klingon -- stuff like "the
officer is as strong as an ox." In that particular case, you might say "*ox*
HoS ghaj yaS" or "the officer has the power of an ox," but you can't always do
that, because there isn't always a conversion from adjective to noun. A pity,
isn't it? --qoror
