I've been working on a sort of essay, and I've not been been repeating
subject phrases like that. So I'm hoping for some discussion. What do
people think of:

1. (?) Hegh SuvwI'pu'lI' law' 'ej riQ.
-- vs. --
2. Hegh SuvwI'pu'lI' law' 'ej rIQ SuvwI'pu'lI' law'.

Is Sentence 1 unclear? Just bad Klingon? Or is Sentence 2 just an extra
precise version of Sentence 2?
