Kevin Wilson replies:

I assume, probably wrongly, that you were trying to say "A definite
warrior knows when to finish speaking."  However, you used the word ghorgh
which is a question word.  This seems to me to translate as "When does a
definite warrior know that he is finished speaking?"  Unfortunately,
we do not have a relative/temporal pronoun in tlhIngan Hol.

Qapla'
