In reply to HomDoq's use of -wI' in the manner of "Thing Which Is
Green," I can only point out the relevant passage in TKD regarding
adjectives and politely remind him to read it again.
If you are trying to phrase something such as "the book which is
green," the Klingon phrase is simply
paq SuD
That's it. No -wI', no -bogh, no -taHvIS. Just look up the relevant
verb in TKD, and if the English has a "be " in front of it, e.g.
"be green," then just use the verb as prescribed.
ngeD. qay'be'.
