[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: ghu

[mayql qunenoS]

on second thought, if the {ghuvaD} is indeed the indirect object, and
if I understand correctly what an indirect object actually is, I think
it should come at the beginning of the sentence, before the actual
object. so maybe I should write :

ghuvaD tam'eghnISchoH ghaH 'e' DaghojmoHQo'chugh vaj DujlIj vIQaw'.
