Grammar Highlight:

To say "we" do the action of the verb when the object of the sentence is 
plural, Klingon uses a verb prefix, DI-.

Examples:  jaghu' DISuv = we fight enemies (jaghpu' = enemies [plural]; Suv = 
fights)
puqpu' DIqIpbe' = we do not hit children (puqpu' = children; qIp = hits; -be' 
= not)
be'pu' DISov = we know the women (be'pu' = women; Sov = knows, has knowledge 
of)
loDpu' DItlhejbe' = we are not accompanying the men (loDpu' = men; tlhej = 
accompanies; -be' = not)

There is another verb pronominal prefix Klingons use when the object of the 
sentence is singular.  That is wI-.

Compare:  jagh wISuv = we fight an enemy; jaghpu' DISuv = we fight enemies.
