<p>We have different words for the noun <i>wind</i> and what it
does, <i>blow.</i> I'm not sure Klingons would say things
like <b>SuS SuS</b> <i>the wind blows,</i> because it's just
saying the same word over again. I suspect they'd say
something like <b>SuS 'e' DaQoylaH'a'</b><i> Can you hear it
blow?</i> meaning, sort of, <i>Can you hear that it is
windy? </i>This is just my guess.<br>

<p>Not that there's anything wrong with your suggestion, but do
note that "just saying the same word over again" is not all that
uncommon or strange-sounding in many languages. You can live
your life or die a horrible death; W.S. Gilbert's Judge in
_Trial by Jury_ sings of how he "danced a dance," or you can
sing a song. OK, these are not _precisely_ the same words, but
you could probably find examples like these that have the same
word.</p>

<p>That's true, and I'm probably overreacting. But I think it's the
exact repetition that bothers me.</p>
<p>"Excuse me, darling, but what is it exactly that you do do?"<br>
