(1) I've always been curious about this usage - *Sarah* lupDuj =
"Sarah's plane". I'm not sure the Klingon can go there. She certainly
doesn't own the thing - it is just associated with her for the moment to
differentiate it from all the other planes at the airport. I don't know
if this usage is idiomatic to English or fairly universal. This will
probably start a long debate...
