I really meant just for verb/sentence conjunctions.

*vIghro', gha'cher, bo'Degh je vIlegh
*/I see the cat, the goat, and the bird/
(Oxford comma in English but not Klingon)

but

*vIghro' vIlegh, gha'cher vIje', 'ej bo'Degh vIQoy
*/I see the cat, I feed the goat, and I hear the bird
/(Oxford comma in both English and Klingon)

*lalDan noHmeH taghmoHpu' /Oxford comma. /yIyep'eghmoH.*
