<br></div>That means that {Qoch(be&#39;)} might at least be a labile verb, which can have an object, but doesn&#39;t have to (as common in Klingon). The object of {Qochbe&#39;} here is {&#39;e&#39;}, so it seems logical that one can indeed agree or disagree with a fact or a statement or an idea. I don&#39;t see a reason why it shouldn&#39;t.<br>

It takes two (or more) to (dis)agree.  I can&#39;t imagine MO would have<br>
had a problem with {maQoch &#39;e&#39; wIQochbe&#39;} as it translates neatly as<br>

I&#39;m not convinced {Qoch} can even take an object. *{ngoDvetlh vIQoch} &quot;I disagree with that fact&quot;? Meh.<span><font color="#888888"><span><font color="#888888"><br>
