SuStel:
It is using pa' as a non-subject, non-object noun placed before the OVS structure, and Dab here has no object: some years ago, thereabouts, inhabitants inhabited (in general). This is not actually ungrammatical, just a bit odd.
This confuses me a little; is it legal to have an unmarked noun before the OVS ? And something else.. Would you accept as grammatically correct the {pa' vIparHa'} for "I like the there" ? Can the {pa'} (in its meaning as "there") be used as an object ? qunnoq On Fri, Jul 7, 2017 at 7:03 PM, SuStel <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote:

I can think of three possibilities:
A fourth occurred to me. Perhaps the English "lands" influenced the Klingon rendition, and {Dab} is intended to have a plural object. {...pa' [yermey] Dab ngan[pu']...}
Or maybe pa' itself is to be interpreted as plural: thereaboutses.
