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.

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?
