I'm familiar with about 0,01 percent of Klingon vocabulary, but I don't
think any verb that has a transitive *meaning* could be translated as
"be xyz". Unless it's a verb with several meanings, some of them being
transitive and others intransitive (like "shine" in English, hmm). I
don't suppose we have any such words in Klingon, but I'm far from sure.
Can anyone think of a word like that?
