The lack of a Klingon continuous suffix in this example is the whole point! The idea expressed would not change if the suffix were present. That's what was asked for, right?

The Bird of Prey "Holodome" played the CK intro audio. It came with a card containing the text and translation of each line. It would be useful to find out whether the English text on the card was the original that was then translated into Klingon, or if it's a retranslation of the Klingon.
