Re: vay' and lu'
Have you guys considered the fact that Marc Okrand had to create a lot of
Klingon *after* the English version was *filmed*. I can't remember if
that wasn't the case with the early scene in ST3 with >Qugh< and >valQIS<.
That might explain the origin of >-lu'<. Lawrence will have to ask Marc
sometime if he can point out what textual material is a retrofit. (I
believe Marc has mentioned a number of lines already where this was the
case. I know there are one or two interviews in >HolQeD< mentioning this.)
Something like what we know happened when lines got inadvertently
switched, and now >qama'pu'< is both a sentence, and "the prisoners".
