<div dir="ltr">I just realized, Aurélie, that you began this
thread with the salutation <Hoch Savan>, but it seems not
to have elicited comment. I wish I had a darsek for every time
I've been corrected for using such a construction, in which a
noun stands in the place of a first or second person subject or
object. Some think this violates the rule of rom <accord>,
which says the prefix must agree with the subject and object,
because (and this is the part I dispute) nouns, common or
proper, are inherently third person. This second part is not a
rule in Klingon, and I maintain that in such cases the noun is
an appositive to the unexpressed pronoun.</div>
