RE: KLBC: Re: *Francesco Felici*vaD
If De' is plural (which it would be in English), then how would we say it as
singular in tlhIngan Hol? I am willing to accept De' meaning "datum" and
De'pu' meaning "data". That doesn't solve what you do about its meaning as
"information". But it is something to think about.

This would be better as <Pisa vIDab>, although <PisaDaq jIDab> correct.

The <je> should go afer the verb, which is the pronoun <ghaH> in this
sentence.

Daj. I don't normally think of <De'> as something that can be plural. I
wonder what Klingons think . . .
