Except *qar'a'* is a recognized feature of the language, while *qarbe''a'* is not. I don't think Klingons who hear *qar'a'* are thinking that it means /is it correct?/ It would come across to them more like /amiright?/ It's a thing you say, not a sentence to be parsed. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
