<p>When you've got a rule and a single instance of someone breaking
that rule, you can't just dump the rule. The rule remains the rule
even though it is not absolute.<br>
</p>
<p>"It should be remembered that even though the rules say 'always'
and 'never,' when Klingon is actually spoken these rules are
sometimes broken. What the rules represent, in other words, is
what Klingon grammarians agree on as the 'best' Klingon."</p>
<p>"...a good many of the finer points are not covered..."</p>
<p>Without knowing <i>why </i>Azetbur breaks the rule, you can't
go breaking the rule yourself. Maybe the finer point of the rules
that hasn't been discovered yet says that when discussing the
desires of your late father, <b>'e'</b> may be used with <b>neH.</b>
Maybe <b>'e'</b> can be used on <b>neH</b> when the subject of <b>neH</b>
has the endearment suffix on it. You don't know.</p>
<p>I hereby grant you permission to respond with the sentence <b>'e'
neHbe' vavoy</b> anytime someone states a sentiment that your
father does not or did not agree with.<br>
