<p>What you're asking is, can Klingons set aside parenthetical
phrases? <i>Often, while I'm reading this book, I laugh.</i>
Notice that I set the while-clause apart from the sentence with
commas. This indicates an interruption of my thought. I would not
let it run on: <i>Often while I'm reading this book I laugh.</i><br>
</p>
<p>Do Klingons do this? Probably. Everyday Klingon speech is
probably a lot less formal than we teach on this list. I don't
think we've seen this particular thing being done before, though.<br>
