So, when we [vegh], we go through the [lIvqa'nan], instead of the [lojmIt], yes?
That question seems logic, but I think it's not the case in daily speech. a) Technically spoken, the frame is only /part/ of the door, so you still go through the "door". b) That's how it works in all languages I know (but that's no rule for Klingon of course) c) The definition of {vegh} is "go through door". d) going even further, it is (probably) possible that this construction is not even a closed thing; it could be half left, half right. So you don't really {vegh} it, you just walk between those two halfs (but still a door). Your question is certainly appropiate and the idea is even correct when taken literally, but I would say that insisting on this idea would be too much nitpicking (no offense please). A door is a door. Taken literally, you are even traversing a wall, if the door is in the wall. -- Lieven L.
