If {-taH} here is intended to describe a continual or habitual action
rather than a continuous one, I think it's better left off.

vaj tach ghoSnIS qar'a'?
Huh. I wrote my comments immedately as they occurred to me during my
first read-through. I went through and fixed some formatting as I read
it a second time. It wasn't until a final nit-pick scan for
punctuation that I noticed that {tlhoS cha'maH wa' rep} has an
adverbial but entirely lacks a verb.

Dang, without a {-ta'} on {DaSap} this feels like it isn't quite
complete. It's an annoying rule, but I proudly stand by the fake
linguistic traditions of Klingons from decades ago.
