RE: KLBC Questions One



Questions:

> --Would <'Ipghach> mean "the act of oath-taking"?

Well, probably. But <-ghach> on a bare verb sounds really odd in Klingon, so
it would probalby sound something like "oathification" would in English.

> --Is there a word for "oath" itself (the noun), 

HIja': <'Ip>. It's in TKD.

> IOW what is the object of <'Ip>? (If it takes an object.) 

I don't see any reason <'Ip> couldn't take an object. Here's an example:

chotwI' mIgh vIghochmeH 'Iw 'Ip vI'Ip. 
I swore a blood oath to track down the evil murderer.
