TKD p40. Verbs with no Type 7 suffix are translated by the English simple
present tense.
I point out that such sentences are "translated by the English" and that this
does not mean that the Klingon verbs suddenly may be considered to BE simple
present tense. When I presented Mandarin verbs with perfective aspect, I
merely showed that different languages translate them into their own languages
in a particular manner. I never attempted to show that the Mandarin aspect
suddenly IS both tense and aspect.
