[tlhIngan Hol] Remain klingon

[kechpaja at comcast.net]

It’s perhaps worth pointing out that the verb in the English “remain Klingon” is, in my opinion, not in fact an imperative. The way I read that phrase, it’s simply a bare root: it refers to the act of remaining, but does not in and of itself indicate who is doing the remaining.
