Compound sentences are described thus in TKD: "Two sentences may be joined together to form a longer compound sentence. Both sentences must be able to stand alone as properly formed sentences." Now see this from KGT: *juDev 'ej Dujvam ra'wI' DagheS 'e' vItlhob*/I ask you to lead us as commander of this ship./ In order for this canonical utterance to be legal according to TKD, *juDev* and *Dujvam ra'wI' DagheS 'e' vItlhob* must both be "properly formed sentences."
I'm going to take this one back. The formation is apparently *[juDev 'ej Dujvam ra'wI' DagheS] 'e' vItlhob,* which makes a compound sentence the first sentence of the SAO.
Oh, wait, here's a better one: *Hegh tlhIngan Segh 'ej maHemtaH 'e' wIHech.* This one is clearly *[Hegh tlhIngan Segh] 'ej [maHemtaH 'e' wIHech]* and not *[Hegh tlhIngan Segh 'ej maHemtaH] 'e' wIHech.* Both the first *[Hegh tlhIngan Segn] *and second *[maHemtaH 'e' wIHech]* parts must be properly formed /sentences,/ so *maHemtaH 'e' wIHech* must be a sentence. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
