ngugh bIpujpu' DaH bIpuj je SuStel: The perfective on the first sentence is wrong. Being weak is a quality, not an action that is completed. There might be some unusual situations where being weak can be described as performed and completed, but this isn't one of them.
I can't understand this. Does this mean that one can use the perfective {-pu'} only on action verbs, and not on quality verbs? -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
