correct sense of <i>reach</i> in the Dictionary.com
definition is number 3: "to succeed in touching or seizing
with an outstretched hand, a pole, etc." This is what
Okrand describes <b>SIch</b> as meaning. It's not clear
to me whether it could also mean sense 5: "to stretch or
extend so as to touch or meet"; can we say <b>'aqroS SIch

<div>Now, this sentence was (probably) not written by Okrand. But
it's Star Trek canon, and it's reasonably good Klingon, so I
think (at least in L'Rell's dialect) this means that {SIch} can
also have Dictionary.com's sense 5.</div>

<p>That's not how we define Okrandian canon round these parts, so
I'm leaving the jury out on that.</p>
