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.
