I never realized what a catch-all verb "love" can be until I
started playing with tlhIngan Hol -- and my English has changed
because of it. While I still enjoy saying "I love you," saying
exactly what I mean pleases me more.
Some of my favorites include:
chobelqu'moH.
bIDun.
qaghajnIS.
Too bad this is a list that might get to easily corrupted
people... <wink> Some of DaQtIq's erotic literature is most
enjoyable.
... I have PMS and a Klingon Bird of Prey. Any questions?
