moj "*bangwI'vam" "*bangwI'vetlh" je.
I'll say it in English, since Klingon often is overlooked here. You can't
say "*bangwI'vam" and "*bangwI'vetlh", since "my this love" and "my that
love" work as little in Klingon as they do in English. "-vam", "-vetlh",
and "-wI'" are all type 4 noun-suffixes, so you can't have both "-wI'" and
"-vam" on the same noun. "bangvam" and "bangvelth" work fine here; I knew
we were talking about YOUR loved ones.
