But this is just the problem with such faulty logic regarding language. We
must not simply think that something acts some way when we have been
specifically told it acts another way. The {-lu'} verb suffix does not
equate to passive voice in Klingon even if it seems to in English. We need
to use tlhIngan Hol, not merely translate English.
