I'm trying to succinctly express a concept in Klingon and I'm stuck
for ideas. How would I say "A increases with B", i.e. "A increases as
B increases"?
Actually I'm trying to render something by Tacitus:
"Corruptisima republica plurimae leges."
It means "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws."
(From Tacitus, Annals III 27.)
{qalbe'chugh qum, puS chut. qalchugh qum, law' chut.} doesn't
quite capture the proportional relationship.
