[tlhIngan Hol] Sentence as object using {'oH}

[SuStel]

Your original subject line is “Sentence as object using ‘oH.”

Your original sentence, without ‘e’, is not correct. In the A pro B’e’ construction, A and B are nouns or noun phrases, not sentences.

The proposed version with ‘e’ might be technically correct, but I have a hard time believing Klingons use verb-acting pronouns in sentence-as-object constructions. The final verb in an SAO should generally be something simple and unexceptional.

I'm not trying to use a sentence as object with a pronoun. I'm trying however to understand what is right and what is wrong.

The initial sentence of the thread, the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'oH vIt'e'}, was written by me, and I posted here because I was wondering (and still am), with regards to whether it is a valid/correct sentence.

The second sentence, the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'e' 'oH vIt'e'}, was written by Antony Appleyard and I asked because I was wondering (and still am), whether it is correct.

I'm not trying to create new rules, or extract new rules from the existing ones, but if I don't ask then I will never learn.

I think it is the sentence which precedes it. I think it is the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj}.

Is {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'e' 'oH vIt'e'} correct ?
