Holtej:
: Why? Has {Sup} been used in canon in some way that apparently restricts
its

admittedly
: incomplete.)
: [snip]
: Unless {Sup} is restricted to something like "jump over," these seem fine to
: me. Is there some basis for this restriction?
None at all as {Sup} has never been used in canon. Here's what I have:
{Sup} "jump"
["Verb, to leap or go over." (ST:Continuum, Klingon Linguistic Studies)]
jISup
I jump. KLS
The single example {jISup} was supplied to STC by Okrand, who also recorded a
.wav audio file, but "I jump" is hardly informative. The definitions
listed at
KLS were *not* written by Okrand, but by the STC staffer who maintains the
site.
As to whether {Sup} can be used for jump on, jump off, jump in, jump out, jump
over, jump through, etc. is unknown at this point.
