So there's a little bit of a known rule: "combine multiple <b>-bogh</b> clauses with <b>je</b> if you want your Klingon to sound archaic". That said, unless someone was explicitly writing something intended as ancient poetry, it'd probably be wrong to use that construction.<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><p>Instead, we can say <b>tInbogh chab 'ej

has ever been used in canon, though it's perfectly grammatical.
