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.
