I wonder about the use of {-Ha'} here, since it's possible to be lenient or indulgent without having been strict first.
The use of the suffix {-Ha'} does not imly that the situation or the action was different before. It's just the opposite meaning.
Could the use of the {-Ha'} imply that, to the Klingon mindset, everyone is strict by default, and leniency is an undoing of that state?
No, it just means what it says. yItlhHa' is the opposite of yItlh. Does the English word "disobey" mean that everyone obeys by default? -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/TheLittlePrince
