Seemingly/apparently, in direct address you can't use the word {joH} unless you either say {ghawran joH} or {joHwI'}.

So, let's say you see a lord ready to cross the street and be run over by a bus.. You don't remember his name, and he isn't your lord either..

According to the wisdom of the klingon language, you can't say {joH, yIyItchoHQo'}. Oh, no.. That's wrong..

Hang on. What wisdom are you referring to? I don't remember seeing anything that said joH without the -wI' can't be used in direct address all by itself. Did I miss something?

Now, if I did miss something, what's the big deal? Suppose you see someone who isn't a lord cross the street and be run over by a bus. Not only do you not remember his name, you also can't call him joH because he isn't one.

So what's the problem? 'eH! mev!
