Re: Klingon Poetry for College (2nd attempt)
I'd just be happy if Dr. Okrand would tell us how to handle -moH suffixed
verbs with respect to objects and subjects and agents of causation in an
interview or on the Newsgroup. That would be the easiest thing - then we
could say with certainty who caused a person or thing to do something and if
it was to another person or thing.
