Is it just me, or does this look strange? I'd have expected:
juplI'pu' DanuQbe'meH yIyep 'ej yIQop'eghmoHQo'.
I can understand the subjective differences in word choice, and
I'm sure there's a part of KGT that shows commands stacked like
this without conjunctions. Still, there seems to be a link here
between {Suj} and {yep} that is better served with {SujQo'}
being the purpose of {yep}.
ghunchu'wI' generally provides such good examples of clear
Klingon prose, I grow concerned that someone might take less
ideal examples to heart as something to emulate.
