Please note that Will's mention of a "direct object of /ja'/" is not
commented on by Okrand.  There is no canon to confirm this with any
certainty.  It is simply his opinion.  (I don't even subscribe to the notion
that Klingons differentiate between "direct" and "indirect" objects in their
language, but Will is convinced they do.)

Use /ja'/ however YOU prefer to use it.
