I regret my previous bias against this, which seems to have infected others.
In fact, it's not so cut-and-dried as that. Okrand HAS given us series of
commands with sentence conjunctions. {teplIj yIwoH 'ej pa'lIjDaq yIjaH}
"Pick up your luggage and go to your room!" (Conversational Klingon).
I'd say that sentence conjunctions between commands are clunky or stilted to
Klingon ears, but not entirely unacceptable. In my opinion, a Klingon would
PREFER to hear {teplIj yIwoH! pa'lIjDaq yIjaH!}
