Ah, I see, we're disagreeing about whether qunnoq was talking about having named his dog or what he called his dog. In English it is the difference between /name/ and /call./ If I /name/ something, that is a one-time event; if I /call/ something by a name, that is usually an ongoing occurrence. Either form would have been sensible in Klingon, but they would have meant different things. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
