It works, but it doesn’t give us a very efficient a means of connecting the money with the pie or the person to buy it from.
*chab vIDIl: vagh DeQ.* *chab vIDIl; vutwI'vaD vagh DeQ vInob.* Compare with the efficiency of the English: /I pay five credits for a pie./ /I pay the baker five credits for a pie./ I don't see any problem with efficiency. We know that Klingon will happily shove separate concepts together without any grammatical relationship except "shoved together," and consider it a new concept. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
