| The dishonor of the father dishonors his sons and their sons for three

|So, SusVaj seems to be right (if I've followed the threading correctly):
|<quvHa' be'pu'> must mean "The women are dishonored" (i.e. they're in a
|dishonored state). To say that the women dishonored someone else, you would
|say <quvHa'moH be'pu'> (i.e. they "dissed" him Klingon style!).
Or even <luquvHa'moH be'pu'> as I realized a minute after posting my
answer!
|As the Vulcans say, "The honor is to serve."
I guess I should have said, "HIvqa' veqlargh!"
