This may have been said already (I'm behind on my email), but a nitpick:
the "PERSON, THING, or PLACE" in the second sentence are not direct objects
of the sentence. They are predicate nominatives. Where Klingon has these
(which isn't as often as English), they seem to be treated mostly like
objects.
