Re: Grammar Highlight Each Day

There is no category defined in Klingon grammar as "a being not capable of
language". For the purposes of applying suffixes to indicate plural nouns,
the categories are "beings capable of language", "body parts", and
"everything else". {-mey} is the "everything else" plural suffix.
I've heard it said that the best way to get good information from the
internet is to say something wrong and get corrected. Is this the tactic
being employed by peHruS? Whether intentional or not, much of what he has
presented in his "Grammar Highlight" series has been either incorrect or
confusingly incomplete.
