But on the other hand, what they really mean is simply "The Klingon language does not express it that way". Sometimes it's just the way it tis, and we have to live with it. It's not about how a fictive race may think or talk, it's sometimes just how a language works.
This is a valid argument; but it is an argument, which we can accept only on matters 'oqranD has already clarified. For example, if someone said, we need to have a word for "exaggerate", then of course he would need to listen, that 'oqranD decided to use the bo'Dagh phrase. Or, an even better example, if someone said we need a word for "curious", he would need to be reminded, that 'oqranD was asked and said to use {neHqu'}. But now, I need to continue another ancient cat story, which I'm writing. ~ m. qunen'oS keep calm and learn klingon
