I've mellowed a bit in the last couple of years. :-)  I accept -- nay,
I *embrace* this prefix usage.  It's a well-documented feature of the
Klingon language, not just an isolated instance of apparently sloppy
translation.

[Besides, it helps me interpret what's going on with {-moH}, permitting
me to treat transitive and intransitive verbs effectively the same way.]
