SKI: vajar and ghutar chat about what the captain overheard.<br>
----<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">[88] As I first wrote this it was
Hota'ro' showing him where the toilets were. I only changed it because I
decided I wanted ghutar's side of the story first. The cultural baggage
we haul around amuses me. They were halfway done the hall before I
realized I was mentally looking for a door with a little man symbol on
it. Do Klingons have sex-segregated toilet rooms? I doubt it. We know
they have toilets, and toilet rooms. So Hota'ro' would have followed him
in and no doubt kept talking as she would were he using a drinking
fountain or having a snack. I bet she pulled up her paH bID and pissed
against the same wall, or however the toilets work on a Klingon
battleship. Lacking the required verbs, I skipped that part, regardless
of who accompanied him to the can. Klingons, I've decided, are, unlike
most human males of my culture, so manly that they can sustain
conversation and pee at the same time.<br>
[89] I laugh that it's the V2 suffix here that disambiguates the -bogh
clause.<br>
----<br>
I'll tell you the part of this 'ay' that makes me laugh the most, if no
one else points it out first. <br>
