Does {Dajatlhbogh vIyajbe'} truly contain a "headless relative?" The object
of Dajatlh isn't stated, but the prefix makes clear that it does have an
object. It's also obvious what the object has to be: the words of the
listener. Klingon frequently leaves nouns unspoken when they're understood,
whether it's in the main clause or for a dependent clause. Why can't it do
this for a relative clause as well?
