Let's see...
"Many great warriors have stood on/at him. Because they had stood on/at
him, [they] were destroyed."
I put the second "they" in brackets, even though the first is also implied,
because unless you're using Clipped Klingon, if you mean "they were
destroyed" you should be using "luQaw'lu'" (don't worry about this; it's a
mistake *everyone* makes, and is so common it's becoming considered just a
natural intrusion of clipping into ordinary speech).
That close?
