It’s also strange that it’s forbidden to use a Type 7 suffix on the second verb of a Sentence As Object construction (a ban created by Okrand to cover a time when he forgot to use one)
IIRC, it was not his fault. I believe that this rule originated in the incorrectly translated line {qama'pu' jonta' neH}, which one would have instinctly translated as {qama'pu' vIjon vIneHta'} [sic], but as the line was used already, Okrand had to adapt the grammar. This line also produced the rule that {neH} does not use {'e'}. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://klingon.wiki/En/UnintentionalVocabulary
