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.
