A short note on naming sources: You have "found" the article at Klingonska, but its origin is the Usenet newsgroup, to be even more precise, the Microsoft Network expert forum. Most people call them "newsgroup message".
You're right; I just wrote klingonska without giving it further thought. I'll be more precise next time ! lieven:
I think the problem exists in English and other languages too. It's not a question of grammar, but a question of interpretation.
Actually, when I first read okrand's explanation on this matter, I was confused thinking "but if someone asked me {jarlIj qaq nuq?} I'd understand it as him asking me to name my favorite month, instead of defining it". At first, I didn't realize that grammar-wise, what the {jarlIj qaq nuq?} sentence actually asks for is indeed the "definition of the favorite month" instead of its' name. But luckily, after reading this thread things became clearer. ~ Qa'yIn
