Hu'tegh! nuq ja' d'Armond Speers jay'?
=> Yeah, I keep forgetting to post this. After some thought, I would render
=> "too drunk to mate" as naghqangDI' chechqu'.
=This reminds me of the old joke, "the more I drink the better you
=look." It almost sounds like you're saying, "I am really drunk when
=I'm willing to mate with you." I don't think there's going to be an
=easy way around "too," which seems to be an inherent comparative.
*sigh*. Ok, I could keep trying with "jInaghrupDI' jIchech", or "jIchechchugh"
or whatever, but I might as well cut the Gordian knot here:
jInaghlaHbe' jIchechqu'mo'.
Prosaic, unfun, long, but it's the only unambiguous rendering, and I will
change all my Klingon texts accordingly.
Nick.
