So, as soon as he finishes proving that he isn't a traitor, he wants to say: "So, am I ? (a traitor)"
It's as imcomplete as the english, so it does not work. I would understand it in daily speech as some kind of clipped Klingon, but would not recommend to use this too often. The problem with this is that we are used doing this in English, where we have those adiditonal verbs (forgot the linguistic term) that can be used to refer something else: Did you? Has he? Are you? He doesn't. When speaking Klingon, you should forget about those translations and focus on the Klingon instead. {jIH} means basically "I, me". So if anything, {jIH'a'} just means "Me?" or "I?"
{maghwI' ghaHbe'lu'chugh vaj..} If someone isn't a traitor then..
No, that makes no sense. What bothers me here is the indefinite subject suffix -lu' combined with a pronoun, but I can't tell why. I'd suggest using vay' here to avoid the situation. -- Lieven L.
