We have different words for the noun wind and what it does, blow. I'm not sure Klingons would say things like SuS SuS the wind blows, because it's just saying the same word over again. I suspect they'd say something like SuS 'e' DaQoylaH'a' Can you hear it blow? meaning, sort of, Can you hear that it is windy? This is just my guess.

Not that there's anything wrong with your suggestion, but do note that "just saying the same word over again" is not all that uncommon or strange-sounding in many languages.  You can live your life or die a horrible death; W.S. Gilbert's Judge in _Trial by Jury_ sings of how he "danced a dance," or you can sing a song.  OK, these are not _precisely_ the same words, but you could probably find examples like these that have the same word.

That's true, and I'm probably overreacting. But I think it's the exact repetition that bothers me.
