I communicate. (KLS)

naDev bIQumqa' 'e' vItul. 
[untranslated] (MO to SuStel, st.klingon 11/1996)

(qurgh, 11/10/2015):  I had a conversation with Marc about {'oH} and {ghaH} and animals when I was at the qepHom. He said that if you (the speaker) believe you can communicate with a creature, then it's a {ghaH}, if you don't believe you can communicate with a creature, then it's {'oH}. It's down the personal beliefs of the speaker, not a set formula.

      (or maybe it was {Qumpat}) to refer to 'radio'. He sounded uncertain, but it makes
      sense to me." (Felix Malmenbeck, 6/18/2012)

"The past is a foreign country; they do things different there. They speak another language. They would communicate as we do, but can only talk in dreams.” ({bI'reS} of L. P. Hartley's novel The "Go-Between")
