You guys keep talking about "socks" using {chang'eng} and {paSlogh}.
If {paSlogh} does /not/ imlpy "pairs", then we cannot say {bID paSlogh}...
(I always thought of it as a pair of socks, but apparently it's just
inherently plural)
Okay, since Klingon is very short, I think a Klingon would never bother
about losing one sock. He'd just say
{paSloghwIj Qaw'lu' jay'}
"My socks are destroyed"
Gee... whatta topic!!
I bet MO has never thought about that :-)
