<< The "prefix trick" is a bit of Klingon grammar. If a verb has an indirect
 object (IO) that is first or second person (me, you, us) and a direct object
 (DO) that is third person, then instead of using the usual {IO-vaD DO verb}
 formation, the verb prefix can be changed to indicate the indirect object.
 Examples:
 
 SoHvaD matlh vIpong - "I call you Maltz" - becomes
 matlh qapong
 
 jIHvaD paq yInob - "Give me the book" - becomes
 paq HInob

Where would I classify this in the Klingon dictionary?  In simple sentences or
in the verb prefix section?  I ask only because I want to create my own
personal dictionary that would enable me, myself, and I to understand Klingon
better.  I would not and never will distribute it, since that is illegal.
Also, should the double -bogh suffixed verb comment go under relative clauses?
