p.15 TGD:
{chay' veSDuj'a' vIghajlaH DaH 'e' boyajchoH} now you're all beginning to understand how I'm able to own a great warship
This is written as an example of a correct sentence, but I don't think that it is ; the {chay'} can't be used in this way.
You are feeling correct. This theoretical construction would be a Question as Object, and has frequently been discussed as being not correct: [chay' veSDuj'a' vIghajlaH?] - DaH 'e' boyajchoH The problem is that in english (and many other languages), the question words can function as relative pronouns, like "I know why you are here" "I see what you did". That does not work in Klingon. At least that's the latest information I know. -- Lieven L.
