When I wrote "for a Klingon sentence", I mean for one sentence, rather
than two (or three).

The idea is something along the lines of "The officer, whom I am
willing to make leave, hit the child." As opposed to "The officer,
whom I make willing to leave, hit the child." I think both of those
are crying out to be split into two or three smaller Klingon
sentences.
