maj. These combined with the ST5 line from Voragh make a pretty conclusive
case for {-Daq}.
But it wasn't that {-Daq] is what Klingons use with {bach} that I was
wanting to be convinced of.
(from SuStel's comment mainly) I'm left with the impression that if we had
no canon for {bach}, and didn't know that Klingons use {-Daq}, {-vaD}
wouldn't work anyway for some reason intrinsic in the definition of {-vaD}.
If that's the case, then there is something wrong with my understanding of
{-vaD}.
If on the other hand it's simply a matter that, yes {-vaD} might be expected
to work grammatically, but Klingons actually use {-Daq}; then no problem.
