That's not new. *Ha'DIbaH DaSop 'e' DaHechbe'chugh yIHoHQo'* was in /The 
Klingon Way./ He later gave us the irrealis construction *net jalchugh.* 
It's probably been done elsewhere.

Virtually everywhere Okrand says "sentence" in TKD, he actually means 
"verbal clause." This is demonstrated often, including the fact that you 
can use "sentence" conjunctions between subordinate clauses.
