I'll remember to avoid {'e' X-lu'} in the future.
Now I wonder, what about {'e' X-vay'} ? can/should it be used when we have an indefinite subject? Does it add a nuance somehow or is "net" the preferred solution in all cases?
For instance: qama'pu' DIHoHbe' 'e' Sov vay' : someone knows we don't kill prisoners
You can say that, but *vay'* is not an indefinite subject. It sounds in Klingon like the difference in English between /It's known we kill prisoners/ and /Someone knows we kill prisoners./ My advice is to use *net* whenever possible, because it deserves some love and you'll look spiffy using it. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
