<pre wrap="">1. {tera'vo' SarI'} "I hail you from Earth".
The way I understand {-vo'}, it is used to denote "movement taking
place away from somewhere". However, in this sentence, the meaning is
rather "I'm at earth, and from here I'm communicating". Perhaps, one
could say that "the thing moving away from earth is the message". But
in that case, I would be expecting to see "from earth I'm sending this
message". Not "from earth I hail you".</pre>

<p>"This suffix <b>[-vo']</b> is similar to <b>-Daq</b> but is
used only when action is in a direction away from the noun
suffixed with <b>-vo'</b><b>.</b>"</p>
<p>It doesn't say there has to be literal movement, and it doesn't
say the subject or object have to be moving away from something,
just that the "action" is "in a direction away from." In Okrand's
sentence, the action of hailing is being directed away from Earth.</p>
<p>There is a similar sentence in <i>Conversational Klingon:</i><b>
pa'vo' pagh leghlu'</b> <i>the room has no view</i> (literally,
<i>from the room, one sees nothing</i>). The action of seeing is
being directed away from the room.<br>

<p>Keep it. Aside from the rest of the good grammar, it's useful to
keep examples of Okrand's mistakes, if only to convince Worshipers
at the Almighty Knees of Okrand that his every utterance is not
holy writ.<br>
