- The Klingon verb {Da} means "behave as, act in the manner of"<br>

Taking this into account, wouldn't it make sense to use <noun +
Da> to convey the same meaning as an adverb?<br>
<br>
For instance:<br>
He fought bravely: Suv ghaH, yoHwI' Da<br>
He spoke calmy: jatlh ghaH, jotwI' Da<br>
He shouted angrily: jach ghaH, QeHwI' Da<br>

What do you think?</blockquote>
<p>Sure, why not? But don't regard it as a formula. It's not THE way
to describe how something is done; it's A way. You might just as
well say</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Suv ghaH; yoH.<br>
jatlh ghaH; jot.<br>
jach ghaH; QeH.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p>or</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>Suv; yoHwI' ghaH.<br>
jatlh; jotwI' ghaH.<br>
jach; QeHwI' ghaH.</b></p>
</blockquote>
<p>or even</p>
<blockquote>
<p><b>SuvtaHvIS ghaH, yoH.<br>
jatlhtaHvIS ghaH, jot.<br>
jachtaHvIS ghaH, QeH.</b><br>
