but if there are scissors pointing at my belly, i'd say that this is
quite dangerous. anyway, if i'd like to say that there are scissors
pointing at my belly, so that it's dangerous, i cannot not say
"dangerous-ly", as there is no "-ly" in klingon, seemingly. i find it
strange that okrand invented so many tools to cast from noun to verb,
from verb to noun an so on, but there is nothing to cast from noun do
adverb. hm...
