The Moon goes AROUND Earth. The Moon orbits Earth. So, why don't we
say, "The Moon orbits around the Earth"? Well, we can, but it sounds
odd, since "orbit" implies "around". Why don't we say, "The Moon goes
the Earth"? That's rather confusing because "goes" does not imply
"around". You have to be explicit about that.

Klingon is not particularly known for excessive redundancy.
