No, there's another reason, but I'll keep you supplied while you're still

loQ. Depends on the weather and the phase of the moon--literally. I got
called out to work today because of especially low tides. I'm so excited
by the whole Georgia/epic thing that I already want to dress up like
tIna'tIn and go horseback riding through the Caucuses. With a sabre. Is
this poem a famous piece of literature in Georgia? Will normal people be
somewhat familiar with it? I will have to learn enough Georgian to
explain that I read it in the original Klingon. Or maybe not.<br><br>

&gt; I think she's honed that to a fine art. Chapters you've missed
demonstrate the lengths she'll go to for that end.<br><br>
I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to sitting down and
rereading through the whole thing.</blockquote><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">&gt; He's already mentioned in
the story that he's working to get her on the council, so presumably he's
following some protocol here, and talking her up.<br><br>
And making it clear that he can cease to do so at a moment's notice. I
love how much is being conveyed in this single
sentence.</blockquote><br>
It's sometimes really hard to know what's just in my mind and what comes
out in the story.&nbsp; That's why I love ghunchu'wI''s stream of
consciousness readings so much. I get to see what works.<br><br>

Good point. I didn't think it was ungrammatical, but I wasn't sure if you
had a specific reason for not using 'e'. The -nIS sort of slipped by
me.</blockquote><br>

Damn, I know no expression in any other language as good as Russian
&quot;molodetz&quot;. It translates to something like &quot;good
boy&quot; but lacks that condescension. It's a unisex exclamation of
praise for bravery, cleverness and fortitude.<br><br>
