ok, I came back..
if I write {'elaDya'ngan jIH}, this can only mean "I am (a) greek",
right ? So, how come if I write {mayqel jIH}, this can mean "I am
michael' ? even if we take into account, that klingon does not have
"a/the", then again the meaning can only mean "I am a michael".</pre>

A Klingon to-be sentence expresses the idea <i>X = Y.</i> <b>'elaDya'ngan
jIH</b> <i>me = Greek;</i> <b>mayqel jIH</b><i> me = Michael.</i>
There is no <i>a,</i> <i>an,</i> or <i>the</i> in Klingon.<br>

<pre wrap="">as I understand , the subject is defined as "one who is, or one who
does" ; and since we use OVS, then how can we place the "one who is,
or one who does", before the verb ?

<p>A Klingon to-be sentence is not of the form object-verb-subject.
You should more or less ignore the ideas of subject and object
with regard to to-be sentences.<br>
