SuStel, a few years ago you yourself were telling us that we had it all
wrong when it came to using verbs of speaking.  The big difference here
is that you were using TKD to prove your position.  You weren't telling
us that TKD had it wrong; you were showing us where we had missed TKD's
explanation.  peHruS keeps bringing in irrelevant definitions and terms
in an attempt to show us how TKD is incorrect.  Even his acceptance the
other day of TKD's use of the words "aspect" and "perfective" was given
with the disclaimer "regardless of what lingusitics textbooks say".  It
seems that he still intends to consider TKD incorrect, but he's stopped
trying to argue the point in the face of overwhelming opposition.  I've
got a feeling he's going to keep using aspect the way *he* thinks about
it, instead of the way TKD describes it, because he still thinks aspect
in Klingon means the same thing his linguistics texts do when they talk
about aspect.  And *that* is what I have been trying so hard to get him
to recognize.
