<div class="">SAO is actually SAOOAS. One sentence is the object
of another sentence. When we were introduced to this
construction, both sentences were simple main clauses. The
larger new thing here (than {Xlu’ ‘e’ Ylu’} is the idea that
it’s fine for the second sentence to be a dependent clause of
yet another main clause.</div>

was in <i>The Klingon Way.</i> He later gave us the irrealis
construction <b>net jalchugh.</b> It's probably been done
elsewhere.<br>

<p>Virtually everywhere Okrand says "sentence" in TKD, he actually
means "verbal clause." This is demonstrated often, including the
fact that you can use "sentence" conjunctions between subordinate
clauses.<br>
