  Suffer major losses after Cardassian bombing campaign. MKE<br>
<br>
BTW notice the repetition of the subject phrase {SuvwI&#39;pu&#39; law&#39;} &quot;many warriors&quot; in the main clause(s).<br><br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve been working on a sort of essay, and I&#39;ve not been been repeating subject phrases like that. So I&#39;m hoping for some discussion. What do people think of:</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. (?) Hegh SuvwI&#39;pu&#39;lI&#39; law&#39; &#39;ej riQ.</div><div>-- vs. --<br></div><div>2. Hegh SuvwI&#39;pu&#39;lI&#39; law&#39; &#39;ej rIQ SuvwI&#39;pu&#39;lI&#39; law&#39;.<br></div><div><br></div>
<div>Is Sentence 1 unclear? Just bad Klingon? Or is Sentence 2 just an extra precise version of Sentence 2?</div><div><br></div><div>bI&#39;reng</div></div></div></div>
