<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>ghItlhpu' De'vID, jatlh:<br>&gt; I almost said to someone *{qeylIS pong yIlo'Ha'Qo'} "Don't misuse Kahless' name".<br>&gt; But I stopped when I realised that {-Ha'} and {-Qo'} can't both be used together.<br><br>Can't they? What's the reasoning for that?<br><br>&gt; Or can they? What's the natural way to express "Don't V" where V is a verb with {-Ha'}?<br><br>{qeylIS pong yIlo'Ha'Qo'} feels like the perfect way to say "don't misuse Kahless's name". Nonetheless, V alone would be okay in some situations as an alternative. With {buSHa'}, for instance, I think it'd be most natural to just go with {yIbuS} "pay attention!" or {yIbuSchoH} "start paying attention!", but that doesn't mean that {yIbuSHa'Qo'} is impossible, or even necessarily less preferable.<br><br>QeS<br> 		 	   		  </div></body>
