<SNIP some stuff about 'e'>
I was actually thinking about using qay' adjectivally, but now that I reread
what I wrote last night I see how silly it was.
'oH qay' - problem it.... for some reason, last night at about 8 that made
perfect sense, but now I can't believe I wrote it.

I recently re-read the Klingon Dictionary and I have a few questions
that I need answered. They are mainly things which have confused me
since I started learning Klingon 5 years ago.
The first problem is -lu'.... I still don't get how this works. I
understand what it means but I don't know how to look at a sentence
with -lu' in it and translate it correctly. Can you tell me how?
