Leaving off {-chugh} seems to be a common error among advanced speakers of Klingon. I wonder if there's a linguistic theory that explains this phenomenon.
Alright, I'm making better errors! That's hardly the first time I left the {-chugh} off, and I think the context is often 2nd person. Maybe it's an English idiom creeping in: "You do this, that happens" instead of "If you do this,..." Or is it not only peculiar to English? jatlh SeQpIr Voragh je: *cheDuQchugh mareghbe''a'*? vaj jatlhbe'law' SeQpIr <choDuQchugh, bInIjbe''a'?> chaq vIQoyHa'pu'. ~mIp'av
