oops! For once I did NOT use my prefix chart & misspelled it. At least I knew
what the prefix was, just mispelled it. darn.

I grok. Remembering... That's the pain 'o'Daq.

I don't quite understand.
[my-definite-name].as object....[it be certainly true] [and-between sentences]
as conjunction between phrases [it be perfectly complete]. with the [it] as
subject implied by the prefix of the verbs (but there is 0 prefix for it-to-it
verbs) Where am I wrong?
what would be the simplest or best way to say "it is my complete and true name"
(meaning that it is my sole, legal name)?
}}};-) of course my Klingon name, pI'lo is in the venerable house of Gowron
(having been "adopted" by Robert O'Reilly at Klin-Kon '97)
but Pillow is my REAL name, not my stage name. (long story)

I was trying to say, "Perhaps you watched while I danced at the feast". It was
not a question, I was referring to a feast in the past tense. maybe I should
have used
chaq 'uQ'a'Daq jImI'ta' chobejpu'. or even chaq 'uQ'a'Daq jImI'ta'
chobej.

So now what? It this posted automatically, with your corrections? Is it posted
with my mistakes and your corrections or am I supposed to rewrite and resubmit
the message? Pillow
