I have this desire whenever I translate some bit of poetry or prose that 
uses symmetry or a very regular meter and I'm trying to duplicate that. 
Most of the Klingon bits will be identical, but then I'll come across 
something whose transitivity is different and it breaks the symmetry or 
meter. Alas, that's just the way it is. Sometimes I compromise by trying 
to create a new symmetry or structure at the expense of perfect 
translation. I came across this recently when I was trying to translate 
"something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." It 
was SO close to working with *ngo'wI', chu'wI', ???wI', SuDwI'*, but of 
course that missing word has to be *vay' **ngIplu'pu'bogh.* :(
