chenHa' tlhogh.
What about <chev> "separate"?
ben law' machev -- "We separated many years ago"
ben law' machev rIntaH jay' -- "We separated many years ago, and I ain't
goin' back!"
>(Is there a way to say "to marry" that is gender-neutral?)
Not in Klingon, so far as we know.
True, but I can think of a poetic way to express it:
<tay'> -- "be together"
Sutay'jaj -- "May you be together"
Sutay'taHjaj* -- "May you continue to be together"
nem law' Sutay'jaj* -- "May you be together for many years to come"
reH Sutay'jaj* -- "May alsways be together"
*Note: these could be considered curses. =)
Also:
not Sutay'jaj -- "May you never separate"
And my personal favorite:
Sto'vo'Kor-Daq matay'qa'. vI'Ip. -- "We will be together again in
Sto'vo'Kor. I swear it."
