There's *something* anomalous about {wa'DIch} in Skybox Card S15:
wa'DIch tlhIngan Dujmey luleghlu'pu'bogh rur qItI'nga' Duj
tera' vatlh DIS poH cha'maH wej HochHom lo'lu'taH.
Is it talking about "the first Klingon ships which were seen", or does it
mean "the Klingon ships which were seen first"? If the former, the word
{wa'DIch} is misplaced. The latter meaning would imply an adverbial use.
