<p>But you're not trying to express a hope that maybe you'll get to
examine the sentence, which is what <b>-jaj</b> does. You're
signalling to the reader that you are, in fact, about to examine
the sentence. (One might suggest that a Klingon would not even go
that far and would just start describing the sentence. I'm not
going to suggest that: there are reasonable literary reasons to
signal to a reader what the upcoming topic is going to be that
have nothing to do with politeness or wheel-greasing. Similarly, a
Klingon who is impressed with your business transactions can say <b>DaH
matlhutlh</b> instead of wordlessly dragging you off to a bar
without warning.)<br>
</p>
<p>I think it's obvious that you have been influenced in this by
another language. You say it's Greek; I'll tell you that English
does exactly the same thing: <i>Now let's examine the sentence.</i><br>
