Did anyone answer this? I think maybe 'arHa missed it because the
subject didn't say [KLBC]. Since it's been more than a week, .

See section 6.2.5 of The Klingon Dictionary: "When the verb of the
second sentence is {neH} 'want', neither {'e'} nor {net} is used, but
the construction is otherwise identical to that just described."

(As for why {neH} is such a special verb, that has to do with the
director of Star Trek III wanting to change the meaning of a line
which had already been filmed. That story's been told on this mailing
list hundreds of times by now, although maybe someone will want to
tell it again.)
