B'Elanna was thinking of the word "however," which sometimes comes at the
end of an English sentence. You cannot do this in Klingon, however. (See?)
{'ach} ALWAYS goes between two verbs (that is, two sentences or clauses).
It might come at the beginning of a sentence, but only if that sentence was
preceded by another.
