By "dependent clauses on either half of a sao", you mean the {tlhIngan maH; taHjaj}
No. *tlhIngan maH; taHjaj* is not a sentence as object as defined by TKD. It is two sentences, pushed together because they're closely related. You /could/ put dependent clauses on either of these sentences and it would still be grammatical (though it would mean something else). *maquvchugh tlhIngan maH; taHjaj tlhIngan maH maquvchugh; taHjaj */If we are honorable, we are Klingon; may it continue./ *tlhIngan maH; maquvchugh taHjaj tlhIngan maH; taHjaj maquvchugh */We are Klingon; if we are honorable, may it continue./ When I say "dependent clause," I mean a verbal clause with a type 9 suffix on the verb that makes it need to have a main clause. These are described in TKD as "subordinate clauses," "relative clauses," and "purpose clauses." -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
