Correct: /Power Klingon/ came before the Okrand interview that explained 
verbs of motion.

occasional contradiction, especially one that came before the rule was 
given to us, we can overlook it as a mere exception, or even an error.

As a matter of fact, Klingon does tolerate redundancy, more than English 
in some cases. However, the immortal advice of William Strunk still 
applies: omit needless words.
