{...maHar : ngeD yIn.} That's not normal Klingon grammar. I've noticed you doing things like this a lot lately, and it's something you need to fix. There is nothing wrong with the syntax, but the meaning you seem to be going for should be written using a Sentence As Object construction: {ngeD yIn 'e' wIHar.} I was trying to avoid using the SAO, because I feel it is the only thing in klingon which is not direct.
Unlike in english, where we say : "we believe that..", in klingon one must first make a statement, then take a coffee break, then say the {'e'} - without the reader/listener - knowing that it will actually come, and only then continue with the rest of the SAO.
It's important to remember that the form of SAO is not [S1]*'e'* [S2]; it's [S1] [S2], where the object inside [S2] is *'e'.* *'e'* is not a conjunction. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
