qay' nuq? Since you correctly understand the word {ngaj} as referring to
time, I assume you would understand {jIngaj} as "I'll be brief" instead of
"I'll be short (in physical distance)." Thus I really have no idea what is
confusing you, and I have no idea what you want me to explain. Whatever it
is that keeps us from communicating appears still to be in place.

===================
You are absolutely correct that we still do not understand each other's
thinking patterns. You have not addressed the fact that I wrote that I feel
that {jIngaj} implies that you are taking on the persona of time. Time can
be short in duration; I state that a person cannot. You feel your meanings
of Klingon words quite differently from the way I do.
