I was thinking..

If we can use asteriscs, in order to emphasize a whole word in a klingon passage, then perhaps it would be possible, to use asteriscs to emphasize a particular prefix/suffix.

Examples:

vIghro' tIQ Daghaj*chugh* 

*if* you had an ancient cat 

vIghro' tIQ Daghaj*laH*chugh 

if you were *able* to have an ancient cat 

vIghro' tIQ *Da*ghajlaHchugh 

if *you* were able to have an ancient cat 

(with the emphasis focusing on the you-it meaning)

vIghro'*na'* tIQ vInej 

I search the ancient *definite* cat 

vIghro'na'*wIj* tIQ vInej 

I search *my* ancient definite cat 

Now..

I know, that for the purpose of emphasis, we could use the {-qu'} for verbs, and the {-'e'} for nouns.

But as has been often said, the {-qu'} could be interpreted as to be emphasizing the entire preceding word with everything attached to it, and not *just* what immediately precedes it.

And of course, the {-'e'} by definition, doesn't focus only on what immediately precedes it.

So, perhaps, the asteriscs *could* be the way to go..
