Is there a difference between these two sentences ?
{pIj, paqvam vIlaDtaHvIS, jIHagh} {paqvam vIlaDtaHvIS, pIj jIHagh}
or between these two:
{pIj, paqvammo' jIHagh} {paqvammo', pIj jIHagh}
What you're asking is, can Klingons set aside parenthetical phrases? /Often, while I'm reading this book, I laugh./ Notice that I set the while-clause apart from the sentence with commas. This indicates an interruption of my thought. I would not let it run on: /Often while I'm reading this book I laugh./ Do Klingons do this? Probably. Everyday Klingon speech is probably a lot less formal than we teach on this list. I don't think we've seen this particular thing being done before, though. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
