<pre wrap="">Is anything known about whether {nay} and {Saw} are transitive and/or
intransitive, or how they are used?
Specifically, are they "marry" in the sense of "get married"
(intransitive) or "get married to [person]" (transitive)?
Given <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.qephom.de/e/message_from_maltz_170713.html" moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.qephom.de/e/message_from_maltz_170713.html</a> and its
endorsement of the grammaticality of {naychuq} and {Sawchuq} and its
example of {B tlhogh A}, I assume that {nay} and {Saw} work similarly
and that one can say {qeylIS nay luqara'} and {luqara' Saw qeylIS}.</pre>

<p>Any Klingon verb that can take an object may leave that object
off to mean either the action is done in general or to an
unspecified object. So <b>nay luqara'</b> means <i>Lukara
marries (in general, or someone unspecified).</i></p>
<p>I didn't doubt before that those words took objects; allowing <b>-chuq</b>
on them cliches it for me.</p>
