DaH lut vIlaDqa', 'ej jIyaj law. wa' mu'tlhegh vIyajbe' neH:
... 'ej yuQvam luDanbogh Humanpu'e' lonbe' tera' 'e' luSov 'e' luqotlh 'e'
wuq Archer.
I was afraid this one would cause some confusion...
This is actually four sentences:
"Earth has not abandoned the Humans who occupy this planet. They know it.
They deserve it. Archer decides it."
More naturally:
"Archer decided that the humans who occupy this planet deserve to know that
Earth has not abandoned them."
I don't know if this "stacking" method has any support in canon, but I
remember a Grammarian (Voragh, I believe) advising a beginner to use this
method for a rather complicated translation. IIRC, though, his advice only
went to three sentences (X 'e' X 'e' X). But I feel confident in my usage,
because we know it's OK with 2 sentences ({bIyIntaH 'e' Daqotlhbe'} (PK))
and Voragh advised three, so why not four?
