Which

S15: http://klingonska.org/canon/sbx-s13.html The first sentence is:
{wa’­DIch tlhI­ngan Duj­mey lu­legh­lu’­pu’­bogh rur qI­tI’­nga’ Duj.}
translated as
"*Similar in configuration to the first Klingon vessels encountered, the
K’Tinga-Class..."*

I remember seeing this being used as tentative evidence for use of
{wa'DIch} as an adverbial... though now that I look at it, it might just be
a misplaced word.

You do raise some good points here, and I think I'll edit my translation to
use {pawpu'ghach cha'DIch} or the like (and then reply to some of the other
points) when I get home.
