SKI:

The use of the word "header" in discussions of Klingon grammar is unfounded 
because Okrand never uses it in any of his published material. Besides that, 
the word has no technical definition in linguistic or language-related 
discussions.

charghwI', I am not saying you are wrong at this point. I am only pointing 
out the fallacy of asserting that a certain kind of word must "head" a 
sentence simply because you decide to call it a "header". If your theory 
still turns out to be correct, fine, but it must do so without committing to 
this fallacy.
