[Tlhingan-hol] Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country Klingon Dialogue

[Lieven]

Hi qunnoQ,

since we know nothing about klingon writing, we also do not know about 
commas. But most klingonists have agreed that using commas is a very 
useful thing to make phrases clear, also when adding things:

{HoD Duj, Sa' targh je vIlegh}
"I see the general's targ and the captain's ship"
instead of "I see the general, a targ, a captain and a ship"

When speaking, you would make a pause there.

Remember that klingon is always context related:

- {Human qam HaqwI' SoH'a'?}
- {ghobe', tlhIngan qam HaqwI' jIH}
No, I am a surgeon of Klingon feet.

I think this is more confusing than any of the other examples.

Brief summary:
- Use commas to make phrases clearer.
- When speaking, make pauses instead.
- When you hav a long phrase, make it two short ones.
