<pre wrap="" class="moz-quote-pre">1. *tlhIngan Hol jatlh chaH* cannot be an instance of the "prefix trick" (meaning "They speak Klingon to them") because there is another possible interpretation, i.e. a direct quotation with no object, so no "prefix trick" is being used and the sentence can only mean "They say: 'Klingon language'". Right?</pre>

<p>Right.</p>

<p>Well, it's technically correct, but what I forgot to mention is
that it'll probably be interpreted as a mistaken attempt to say <b>tlhIngan
Hol lujatlh chaH, </b>rather than an attempt to say <i>They
say, Klingon language.</i> Unless the quotation version is
already expected by the listener.<br>
