I kind of like the way we have a case in English where you actually use a
conjunction to join two structures of wildly different parts of
speech: a preposition and an adjectivem if you'll believe it. That's
something which *by and large* doesn't happen. :) And there's "never the
less"...
Doesn't really bear on Klingon though.
