Yeah, but who else's mother would bhe be talking about? English is very
particular about putting possessives everywhere, but in say French it's
quite natural to say things like "Put the hands on the table" (who else's
hands but yours?) or "the man who I know the sister" (for "whose sister I
know"). We don't know what Klingon's like with this; I'd tend to lean
toward not stressing about it either way.
