nuqneH.
What is the consensus on using an imperative statement instead of an
"if" statement when using {vaj} "then, thus, so"?
Would the following be correct, or need reconstruction as an "if/then"
sentence?
DaH yIjatlh vaj qaHoH! "Speak now or I will kill you."
Would this have to be:
yIjatlhbe'chugh vaj qaHoH! "If you do not speak now, then I will kill
you"?
(I understand that the "will" connotation is not necessarily supported
by the Klingon, but my main inquiry relates to imperatives with {vaj}
sentences.)
Qapla'!
pItlh.
