Re: KLBC targhmey QongtaH Qotbogh yIchaw'



Qor'etlh:
>I need a grammar check on this.

>   (Let sleeping Targs lay!)

ter'eS: 
:   QottaH QongtaHbogh targhmey 'e' yIchaw'.
:   "Allow that sleeping targhs (continue to) lay"
:or maybe just
:   QongtaHbogh targh yIvemmoHQo'!

  "Don't awaken a targ that is sleeping."

Or:

  QongtaHbogh targh yISujQo'!
  "Don't disturb a targ that is sleeping."

Simpler still (for a nice, concise proverb):

  Qongbogh targh yISujQo'!
  "Don't disturb a targ that sleeps."

And just for fun, another sleeping targ proverb from TKW:

  bIQongtaHvIS nItlhejchugh targhmey bIvemDI' nItlhej ghIlab ghewmey.
  If you sleep with targs, you'll wake up with glob flies.
