Sure. p.61 "jISoptaH 'ej QongtaH." "'ej" comes at the beginning of the
sentence "QontaH." Or if you like, at the end of "jISoptaH". Or between
the two. Remember, the only difference between "jISoptaH 'ej jIQontaH" and
things like you're talking about (I think) is the period, punctuation which
is not known to be part of Klingon usage. We punctuate sentences to make
them easier for us.
That what you mean?
