as object is not defined as "sentence 'e' verb"; it is defined as
"sentence1 sentence2" (although there is later mention of the
"two-verb (or two-sentence) construction." There are several kinds
of SAO, including those using <b>'e'</b> or <b>net,</b> those
using <b>neH</b> in the second sentence, those using verbs of
speech, and those using <b>rIntaH.</b></blockquote>
<p>Personally, I think that the sentence as object is just a subset
of the general trend of "sentence squishing" that Klingon
regularly engages in. <b>'uSDaj chop; chev</b><i> bite his leg
off!;</i> <b>Danumlu'; Sa' Damoj</b><i> promoted to general;</i>
<b>bIr; bortaS rur</b><i> cold as revenge.</i> That is, Klingon
doesn't mind shoving short, closely-related sentences together to
make a single point. This is why I think Qov's <b>tlhIngan maH;
taHjaj</b> <i>remain Klingon </i>is good: one mini-sentence is
the setup; the other is the payoff. The sentiment is not complete
until the entire utterance is complete.</p>
