I'm wondering...
How are these actually used in the context of Klingon conversation? For
example, the Secrecy Proverb (I really don't understand what that title
mean BTW) I see being used in a situation where a stupid idea has been
proposed (like, say, mating with Be'tor) and an older, wiser Klingon
pointing out that it would *never* happen.
jalth tlhIngan wa'DIch: manga'chuqlaH be'etor jIH je.
jang tlhIngan cha'DIch: 'Iw HIq yap tu'lu'be'.
qar'a'?
