What exactly do you mean, "{ghIQ} is a very skilled word"? And why use the
pronoun?
Instead of saying, for example:
taj Daj 'oH Daqtagh'e'
The Daqtagh is an interesting knife,
Klingon is set up to say:
Daj Daqtagh
The Daqtagh is interesting.
Now just decide what you meant by the above sentence, and fill in the bits
accordingly.
> chaq muHoH yajHa'ghach law'.
"Perhaps many misunderstandings kill me." What do you mean by this?
> QIp *PK*Daq tera'ngan,
A noun with {-Daq} cannot be used to modify another noun. These nouns only
modify entire sentences. You must say
"Power Klingon"-Daq QIp tera'ngan.
> 'ach 'e' vIHechbe'.
"But I don't intend that." Don't intend to do what? Be stupid? As it is, it
looks like you are saying {"Power Klingon"-Daq QIp tera'ngan 'e' vIHechbe'} "I
don't intend that on Power Klingon the Terran is stupid." This can't be what
you mean. Perhaps you mean
'ach jIQIp 'e' vIHechbe'
But I don't intend to be stupid.
