<p>In this context, an antecedent is a word which that appears
before <i>(ante) </i>a pronoun, to which the pronouns
refers. <i>I see the captain. He seems fine.</i> In that
sentence, <i>the </i><i>captain</i> is the antecedent of
the pronoun <i>he.</i><br>

<div>Is it established that Klingon pronouns can’t be used without
an antecedent?</div>

<p>No, but I didn't say he can't say his sentence because Klingon
pronouns can't be used without an antecedent. Indeed, I didn't say
he can't say that sentence. He was pushing the boundary of what
was acceptable, because he claimed his proposed pronoun <b>'oH</b>
was referring to an antecedent <b>ngoDvam</b> that wasn't present
in the sentence, but what he was doing was functionally equivalent
to using <b>'e'</b> as a subject, which definitely <i>isn't</i>
allowed.<br>
</p>
<p>If you have to say it this way, just state <b>ngoDvam</b>
outright and you'll have a much stronger sentence.<br>
