'ach jIghelqa'nIS.  qatlh mu' wa'DIch DaQavmoH?

But that just leads me to ask again:  Why do you reverse the word order?  I
don't understand what you're getting at.  The English line has "marriage"
first; as the subject of the sentence, but you seem to want to treat it as
the object instead.

>The English subtitle "This marriage is dissolved" would have to be {ngoSlu'
>tlhoghvam}.

DapHey 'oH mu'tlhegh Dachupbogh.  That makes *no* sense to me.  Is there
something about the word order that you're seeing and I'm not?
