we have an official way to describe an object with two {-bogh}
verbs? If we want to use more than one verb that is not a "be"
verb (or a more than two "be" verbs) how do we do that? We have
{yoHbogh matlhbogh je SuvwI'}, but it doesn't seem good to me and
I write it off as poetic licence. Even if we consider {je} to be
acting adverbally here, I still have trouble with the object of
{yoH} being in the following sentence. Has Dr. Okrand told us
that this is the way to make two verbs describe one noun or are
there better ways?</blockquote>
<p>When TKD tells us that <b>'ej, pagh, </b>and <b>qoj</b>
conjoin sentences, what it really means is that they conjoin like
verbal clauses. Most rules that talk about sentences also apply to
verbal clauses. Some canonical examples of conjoined
non-main-verb-clause verbal clauses:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>SuDbogh Dargh 'ej wovbogh<br>
</b><i>the tea that is <b>SuD</b> and light </i>(KGT)</p>
<p><b>romuluSngan Sambogh 'ej HoHbogh nejwI'<br>
</b><i>Romulan hunter-killer probe</i> (KCD)</p>
<p><b>pay' HIvDI' lo'wI' pagh mupDI' QIHchu' bIH.<br>
</b>[literally:] <i>when the user attacks suddenly or when
he/she strikes, they damage completely</i> (Skybox SP2)</p>
<p><b>...lengtaHvIS tlhInganpu' 'ej qo'mey Sar charghtaHvIS
chaH...<br>
</b>[literally:] <i>...while Klingons travel and while they
conquer various worlds...</i> (Skybox SP1)</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So feel free to conjoin dependent clauses as well as main clauses
with the "sentence" conjunctions, including relative clauses.<br>
