If I say be'nI'wIj, is it derogatory to me or to my sister ? Or to both ?
From TKD 3.3.4: It is grammatically correct to use the regular possessive suffixes with nouns referring to beings capable of speech (as in {puqlIj} "your child"), but such constructions are considered derogatory; {joHwIj} for "my lord" borders on the taboo. Students of Klingon should bear this in mind.
