[Tlhingan-hol] How would you feel about new Klingon morphemes? [was: New expression: Klingon for "dim sum" revealed‏]

the abstract sense that is conveyed by the phrase "at death I
realized.." ; now, I know that someone is ready to hit reply and say
"klingons aren't abstract", but this constant argument "klingons
aren't this and that", insults my intelligence.

a. klngons don't exist
b. if they did, one would expect from a species which attained space
travel to be able to express abstract ideas too.

I can accept the argument that nothing and noone is perfect. I can
accept the argument that 'oqranD, of course couldn't invent a language
which would contain everything anyone could ever desire. but the
argument "klingons wouldn't do that", is the money laundring
linguistic equivalent of "we don't want to admit that there are things
missing, so we will just keep making up lame excuses to compensate".

lojmIt tI'wI' nuv:
> so I wouldn’t have to work quite as hard to express things.

lojmIt tI'wI' nuv, you -and many others here- (Qov, SuStel, De'vID,
voragh, lieven etc) have earned my respect and gratitude, for the fact
that you were patient enough to teach me. If it weren't for you all,
now I would know nothing.

however I can't realize the reason as a result of which, every time an
argument starts, eventually I will hear : "because you don't want to
work hard you ask whatever". it is getting ridiculous. if someone
doesn't agree, then I expect to read his reasons. I expect to read his
arguments. And if he convinces me, I will be the first to say "I was
wrong, you're right".

I believe I have demonstrated on numerous occasions that I do admit my
mistakes, and that I do change as long as people's arguments convince
me. On this subject however, I will not be convinced from arguments
like "klingons don't say that" or "because you're lazy you're asking".

so, right now, because l choose to remember all those times you had
the patience of teaching me, I will not continue on this thread any
further.

I will choose instead to cloak my cube and navigate away from this
"new Klingon morphemes" constellation.
