[tlhIngan Hol] adverb {vaj} conjunction "then" "thus" "and then" "and thus"

[Will Martin]

I concede your point, though I still think it’s poor form, given that Okrand gave us a category of words as conjunctions and he gave us a category of words as adverbials and never suggested that any word could be both. He apparently considers {vaj} to be both, simultaneously, and he is humanity’s primary Klingon grammarian.
