Because I refuse to look at a dictionary, the sentences are probably not
right (right doubtfully). My vocabulary is small.
Rant in klingon!
This thing, and/or that thing, is the point. In english I say:
The block was blocked from blocking out the block by another block.
Is it this thing? Is it that thing? Few sounds, but different meanings
(true words). Is "-pu" different words? Are stop and/or past different?
The thing is different, I say. It is not the same, but it is not different.

Yes, many of the words are placeholders (ngggg, mu'qoq 'oH'a'?), since I
couldn't think of the mu'na', true word. The big one was "know", and a
couple if's I had to rephrase. 'ach vInejQo'. Memory must serve, for now.
