({Dochvam nuq} from Conversational Klingon looks like it is >the clipped form of {Dochvam 'oH nuq'e'}, even though the grammar isn't >explained explicitly.) So let me get this straight . . . sentences with a would-be copula require a pronoun and -'e' in the subject . . . so *Jim Miller jIH* doesn't need an -'e' because *jIH* already is a pronoun, whereas *Kate Stewart 'oH pongwIj'e'* needs a subject pronoun *'oH* and an -'e' because "Kate Stewart", the subject, is a noun and not a pronoun?

Hmmmm . . . if Rachel Bloom probably doesn't speak Klingon, that means someone else must have translated the lyrics. I wonder who wrote the translation.
