[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jeS

[André Müller]

{bIlopqu'meH} is not a finite clause, it's part of a larger sentence, which
already contains the imperative prefix {yI-}. It hasn't been stated
anywhere, according to my knowledge, but I think verbs in {-meH} cannot
have imperative agreement prefixes on them. In other words: it's not "Come
to Hilton so that: Celebrate the grand opening!", but "Come to Hilton so
that you celebrate the grand opening!" - only one imperative is needed.
