Qa'yIn is asking whether Klingons vocally stress *-'e'* when it's acting as focus. I don't think they need to: the *-'e'* itself is a sharp sound that draws attention. Example: Vixis in /Star Trek V:/ *'ach HoD, Hevetlh wIghoSchugh, veH tIn wI'el maH'e'.* /But Captain, that course will take us into the Barrier as well./ Vixis doesn't give particular stress to the *maH, *but her voice rises on the *'e'.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
