Thanks! I think indeed that it could be useful to have a reference to it in TKD.

>> 1. Imperative of state / quality verbs with *-'eghmoH*.

> Explained in short KGT p. 117
> See → http://klingon.wiki/En/EghmoH

I was actually thinking on discussions such as this one: http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2019-March/030748.html

>> 2. How do appositions work in Klingon?

It would be however cool to have some canonical explanation about it :-) (See also for example the discussion here: http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2022-September/082293.html).

>> 3. When isn't *-lu'* necessary in purpose clauses when expressing an indefinite subject?

> I'm not sure I understand the question. Can you give examples?

As far as I know, when a purpose clause modifies a *noun*, there is *usually* no subject and no *-lu'*, but there are (unexplained) exceptions to it. See for example the second point here: http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2021-July/058919.html).
