But I really wanted to be wrong so I could streamline my translation just a tiny bit (because space and brevity is an issue in this project)

I have this desire whenever I translate some bit of poetry or prose that uses symmetry or a very regular meter and I'm trying to duplicate that. Most of the Klingon bits will be identical, but then I'll come across something whose transitivity is different and it breaks the symmetry or meter. Alas, that's just the way it is. Sometimes I compromise by trying to create a new symmetry or structure at the expense of perfect translation. I came across this recently when I was trying to translate "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." It was SO close to working with ngo'wI', chu'wI', ???wI', SuDwI', but of course that missing word has to be vay' ngIplu'pu'bogh. :(
