In a message dated 96-01-20 13:52:24 EST, you write:
>quv van je tay: (ritual of) honor and tribute.
> maSaqqa'lI': We are in the process of arriving again.

I'm having problems accepting the above phrases. Come on, someone. Convince
me!
I prefer {quvvantay}. I don't like the feeling I get with {je} in the
middle.
maSaqa'lI' seems to me okay for "We are landing again," with an intentional
goal. I would use {mapawqa'lI'} for arriving. The use of {-qa'} Type 3
together with {-lI'} Type 7 seems grammatical enough, to Klingons.
Disembark = go ashore (Webster's dictionary) = lItHa'
Of course, {tIj} means "go aboard." I have never seen {tIjHa'}, but why
wouldn't it work?
