Re: KLBC



Oops.  It has been pointed out to me (by a lurker, even) that I did a
particularly bad job answering Laurel Beckley's KLBC message. :-(
(This will teach me not to try to answer my Klingon mail after midnight.)

>>SajwIj ba' 'ej jIba' My pet is sitting and I am sitting. (I was trying
>>to figure this out in chapter six in TKD.)
>I'm glad you didn't feel the need to add the verb suffix {-taH}.

However, I'm not glad that I didn't notice that the first sentence
should have been {ba' SajwIj} -- the verb must precede the object.

>>Soj bIghaj. yISop. You have food. Eat.
>maj. QaQlaw' Hoch.

jIlughbe'.  QaQbe' mu'tlheghvam.
Since {ghaj} has an object, its verb prefix should have been {Da-}.

>>Well, that's my attempt so far.
>Good attempts all.

But, alas, not all correct.  I am in need of several replacement
proverbs; can anyone lend me a good one?
