In a message dated 97-11-27 04:38:04 EST, you write:

<< Since one of my previous posts (the one in which I didn't know wether 
 to use {porghmey} or {porghDu'}), I've been thinking about plurals.
 
 For example, a computer is a thing, so we use {De'wI'mey}. But some 
 computers (e.g., the Enterprise computer) ARE capable of using 
 language. Should we use {De'wI'pu'} in that case? >>

In the tape, Conversational Klingon, Marc Orkrand says pu' is for plural of
BEINGS that use language, not computers that use language.

Hope this helps you.
