As usual, I would appreciate any help / correction in order to improve my Klingon. I also have four questions:
1. Is *<i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>Rhodes<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i> 'ambay* right or should I say *'ambay <i class="moz-txt-slash"><span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span>Rhodes<span class="moz-txt-tag">/</span></i>*? That leads me to another question: How do appositions work in Klingon?</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>We don't have any hard and fast rules for appositives in Klingon.
Pretty much take your best guess. I think most of the place names
we've seen take the form <i>Name Feature,</i> so you'd be safe
doing it that way. For instance, <b>ghevchoq Sep</b><i> Gevchok
region.</i><br>

<p>Yes, say <b>rurqu'chuq</b> for that reason.<br>

</blockquote>
<p>The difference is partly explained in <i>The Klingon Way:</i>
"The verb <b>Qoy</b> means <i>hear,</i> not just <i>listen.</i>
One must actually perceive and understand that which is being
said." I take from this that <b>'Ij</b> implies an attempt to
perceive sound, whether or not sound is perceived, while <b>Qoy</b>
implies that sound is not only heard, but processed.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">4. In a structure like <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>rut 'e' vIHar<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b>, is it possible to have other elements (for example a locative) before the *'e'*?</pre>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes. In a sentence-as-object construction, each independent
clause can apparently take its full complement of arguments.<br>
