In case the {-qu'} on the {pov} seems strange, I chose to use it as a
result of the Ca'Non paq'batlh sentence of: {SoH rallaw' law' Hoch
rallaw' puS}.
The en translation doesn't say "of goddesses most excellent"; it says
"most excellent far". So, if I just wrote the law'/puS construction
without the {-qu'} on the {pov}, I think that the "far" wouldn't be
expressed.</pre>

<p>I've got no problem with it. It seems well within the known
flexibility of <b>law'/puS.</b><br>

The {SoH'e'} isn't intended as "as for you"; it's intended with it's
exclusivity role: "of everyone it is *you* Hera, who will identify the
cause of your anger".</pre>

<p>The structure of the English sentence is to emphasize the <i>thou</i>
by following it with a parenthetical term of direct address. But
Klingon expresses this kind of emphasis with <b>-'e',</b> not by
reordering sentences. I'd translate this line like so:</p>
<p><b>QeHlIj qaSmoHpu'bogh nuv Dangu' SoH'e', 'o che'wI'.<br>
</b><i>YOU (out of everyone) will identify the person who has
caused your anger, o ruler.</i></p>
<p>I don't know for sure that focus is really called for here; I
don't get an "out of everyone" feeling from the English. But if
you want one, that's how I'd do it.<br>
<b></b></p>

<p>The story is meh. The grammar is interesting.<br>
