RE: JangmeH toch De'wI' lo'
"The name was established before I completely knew the KL." Why use lu' on the first segment, then? And how do you say "was established" or "knew"? I ask only because both segments lack the past tense suffix. Explain your reason, please, and why you would use -lu' (I wouldn't in this case, that's all).

Two segments. /pong cherlu'/ and /tlhIngan Hol vISovchu'pa'/.
These can be put together in either order.
pong cherlu', tlhIngan Hol vISovchu'pa'.
tlhIngan Hol vISovchu'pa', pong cherlu'.
"The name was established before I completely knew the klingon language."
