Grammar Highlight Each Day (Voice)

Disclaimer:  These highlights shed a different slant than TKD grammar section 
does.  They are not intended to be the authoritative teaching tool, only a 
help.  Where I do not quote TKD, I inject opinions, researched, but not 
attested to completely by the inventor of our glorious language, Dr. Marc 
Okrand.

Today's highlight states that the Klingon language does not recognize voice.  
English has active voice and passive voice.  Klingon only has verbs without 
distinguishing active voice or passive voice.

There is a verb suffix, type 6 {-lu'} which is not passive voice!!!!!!  
Rather, it means that the subject of the sentence is not specified.
