It is not the same idea, but {qar'a'} can appear almost anywhere in a
question. Relative clauses need not be in a set position in a sentence. In
Mandarin the dependent clause always precedes the main clause. Okay,
tlhIngan Hol does not follow the rules of ANY Terran language, let alone
Mandarin. Still, I get the feeling we can put verbs of speaking after that
"sentence" which is spoken, thus identifying the "sentence" as the Object of
the verb of speaking.
Just a feeling? Or will it prove to be true?
