</blockquote><p class="">In English it's strange because we have the different words <i class="">go</i>
and <i class="">come,</i> which imply motion away from (or unrelated to)
and toward the speaker. We don't have this split in Klingon, and
we have little data about whether it would be strange to Klingons.
We know that <b class="">HIghoS</b> has been used a couple of times, but <b class="">HIjaH</b>
and <b class="">HIchol</b> have not. (I don't think <b class="">HIchol</b> would
be used for this anyway, since the point isn't to make your
distance to me less but to come to the same room as me.)<br class="">
