But if I understand it right, final clauses in Klingon rather express the *real* purpose / intention of the main clause. I don't know what you mean by "final clauses" here, but {-meH} really is about purpose. The verb preceded by the purpose clause is an action that's done in order to accomplish something.
Sorry, in Spanish we say "final clauses", but I think in English "purpose clauses" is much more common.
A sentence like *This is too heavy for me to move it*, cannot be rendered with *vIvIHmoHmeH tlhoy 'ugh*, unless you are trying to say that its being too heavy makes it somehow possible for you to move it (?). Yes. Thank you! I think I've got it!
