<p dir="ltr">Qov:<br>
&gt; jatlh jupwI&#39;, Ha&#39;! Qe&#39; vISov.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I don&#39;t have much to say. This is really a nitpick, but can one {Sov} a {Qe&#39;}? Many languages distinguish between different kinds of knowing (kennen vs. wissen), although Klingon seems not to. What does it mean to &quot;know&quot; a restaurant? Do you mean {Qe&#39; tu&#39;lu&#39; &#39;e&#39; Sov}, that you know it exists? You &quot;know of&quot; the restaurant, is that {Sov}?</p>

<p dir="ltr">And even if it made sense, would it be something a Klingon would say?</p>
