Yes, true. I understand it that qunnoH wanted to be emphatic, as he
notes that they bite him *each time*. I think it sounds very klingon
when you play with the suffix -logh; compare:
{wa'logh neH muchopbe'; Hochlogh muchop!}
"She does not bite me only one time, she bites me each time"
@qunnoH: sometimes one needs to quit the english vocabulary and see from
a klingon only point of view; forget the difference between
each/every/all etcetera in English. You already admitted that you don't
understand it in english, so why try to transpose that onto Klingon?
Think about that. :-)
I just see Q during the TNG episode saying "You're still thinking like a
Human!"
