... 'oH pongwIj'e'. This is the only place /'e'/ is required in
Klingon.

maj. Also look at the verb /ghoS/, discussed in section 3.3.5, I
think (I'm guessing).

We don't have any canon showing we can put /-qu'/ on adverbs. We know
that /-Ha'/ is only sometimes allowed. As far as we know, */nomqu'/
isn't good Klingon.

maj.

maj. You might here say. /ghungqu'pu'/ "he had been very hungry," if
eating the qagh and his brother satified his hunger, thus making the
state of being hungry completed at this point in the story. We're not
absolutely certain what perfective means on stative verbs, and your
sentence does work fine as you wrote it.
