[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jeS

[mayqel qunenoS]

since I always had trouble understanding grammar terms, I will shy
away from using them ;

I will say however that :

a. the {yIlopqu'meH} makes perfect sense in the aforementioned example
b. even if we discarded {yIlopqu'meH}, then again I would expect to
see {Dalopqu'meH}.

The intended meaning goes "YOU come to celebrate IT". my original
problem with that sentence, didn't actually have to do with the
imperative ; it had to do with the choice of a no-object prefix.
