<<

"While Torg is dreaming, he sees a woman."
Absolutely. But I notice you needed to add a comma after {torgh} to
distinguish this from:
najtaHvIS, torgh be' legh.
While s/he is dreaming, s/he sees Torg's woman. >>
Sometimes I see {vaj} somewhat like a Klingon punctuation mark.
Since {najtaHvIS torgh be' legh torgh} doesn't clear up all the ambiguity, I
sometimes stick in {vaj} to indicate the division of phrases, giving
{najtaHvIS torgh vaj be' legh torgh}.
This is not a recommendation to overuse {vaj}.
