Interesting that this has {tu'lu'be'} instead of {tu'be'lu'}. Both
forms are found in canon, though a strict reading of the grammar
favours {tu'be'lu'} (since {-be'} immediately follows what it
negates).
We have previously:
{SuvwI'pu' qan tu'lu'be'}
{QuvlIjDaq yIH tu'be'lu'jaj}
The new proverb provides more evidence that Klingon speakers may
(occasionally, for unknown reasons) treat {tu'lu'} as one syntactical
unit.
