Yes it's a pronoun, but TKD 6.3 says I can use them as verbs. The trouble
was then putting together the stating of a "to be" thing with a sentence
containing a verb such as "He is a big klingon" as {tlhIngan tIn 'e'
ghaH} or even as {tlhIngan tIn ghaH} ?

No thanks, I tried not to phrase the first sentence as a question, but as
a fact : "He is a klingon spy living in denmark". And the next as an
afterthougt : "... or is he an emissary ?". (allthough the sentence might
make more sense if it was "He is an klingon emissary living in denmark...
or is he a spy ?", but it's not my sentence and they are structurally
alike).
