wIQochbe', lay'tel.  DoS DIp, Del wot, peng DIp, Del wot je jatlh 'e' Hech 
'e' vIHar -- 'ach peng DIp jatlhDI' ngoQDaj vISovbe'.

mu' 'oSmeH, mu'vetlh lo'lu'chugh, qab.  tlhInganvaD 
/indirect object/ wI'oS wIneH; wIjatlhlaHbe' neH DIpvaD.  wI'oSmeH wa' mu' 
wIghajbechugh, wIDelmeH mu'tlhegh wI'lo'nIS.

We agree, lay'tel.  I believe he intended to say /DoS DIp/, /Del wot/, 
/peng DIp/, and /Del wot/ -- But I don't know his purpose for saying /peng 
DIp/...

To define a word, it's bad if one uses that word.  We want to define 
"indirect object" for Klingons, we can't just say "DIpvaD".  If we don't 
have a word to define it, we need a sentence to describe it.
