Read the part in TKD 6.3 where it says "In the above examples, the subjects are pronouns. If the subject is a noun, it follows the third-person pronoun...". The fact that pronouns and nouns are treated differently here rules out your substitution.
That is all correct. But I do not see a strict rule saying that it is "not possible" to do what mayqel suggested. The rule only says what to do when the the subject is a noun. I still believe that when we apply the rule described in chapter 3.3.5 talking about emphasis, mayqel's suggestion might work. All just theoretically, but if you really take things exactly as written, that chapter also says. (upper case added for emphasis) "This suffix emphasizes that the NOUN to which it is attached is the topic of the sentence. In English, this is frequently accomplished by stressing the NOUN [...] And then, the first given example uses a PRONOUN. {jIlujpu' jIH'e'} "I, and only I, have failed." "It is I who has failed." So, in this case, pronouns and nouns are NOT treated differently. o_O - - - - - I read {DujDaq maHtaH maH'e'} as an emphasis as the English "WE are in the shuttle." And I do not see where it breaks a rule. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com http://klingon.wiki/En/ToBe
