Is that understandable? (@mayqel)
yes ! I think I'm beginning to understand the theory of using aspect in klingon. I will apply all this in my next story and see how it goes. I will have this question in mind: "at the time the sentence is taking place, is the event completed or not ?". and we'll see how it goes. DaH, jIQong !

If I'm writing a passage, which clearly concerns a number of completed events, do I need to repeat the {-pu'} on every verb, or just once or twice suffices ?
I just answered this, but I found a different answer: In Klingon, repetition is no problem at all. We try to avoid it in English, but in Klingon is quite usual - and even mandatory - to repeat syllable where needed:
{pItSa' vIje'ta', vIvutta' 'ej vISopta'.}
Anyone disagree?
