Two suggestions:
1) Make your text match your examples. In one spot, you say that
something is done in English with the word "had", but your example uses
"have" When trying to explain tense vs aspect in tlhIngan Hol, don't
unnecessarily mix then in English.
2) In a couple of spots, you use the term "simply" (something "is not
simply done in English"). Perhaps "easily" would be better. I looked
at that sentence a couple of times before I realized that I was
MISreading it as something "is simply not done in English".
If this is going to LIVE on the web, you might want to actually get and
insert the images of <puvwI'> you mention.
