All these are wonderful suggestions, 'ach they bring up a question
which I asked myself while I was writing the original sentence :

The {nImDaq} is a noun with a type 5 suffix ; Shouldn't this always
come in the beginning of the sentence ? I didn't actually *want* to
place it at the beginning, but eventually (and reluctantly)  I did,
because I thought that this is were it always had to go.. So,the
question now is "when can I place a noun with type 5 noun suffix
anywhere else except at the beginning of the sentence ?"

> I'm not sure {Ha'DIbaH puqloDvetlh} "that son of an animal"
> is sufficiently strong in Klingon

This brings up another wonderful subject, the subject of "how to curse
in Klingon".. I have to say that I'm completely ignorant on the
subject, so I always resort to some kind of "terran insults adaptation
to Klingon". If you could please post any canon curses, (other than
the usual ones) I would be grateful !

Anyway, time to go to QongDaqwIj..
