hmm.. This confuses me. I thought that by saying {Qo'noS nujaHmoH}, the meaning would be that "the going takes place on Kronos', instead of "we are being caused to go to Kronos".
The direct object of the word *jaH* is inherently locative. Any direct object you give to it will be interpreted in a locative sense. The direct object of *jaH* is the destination the subject is going to. *Qo'noS lujaH* /They go to Kronos./ Any other locatives that may be added in front of *jaH* do not necessarily imply the destination of the going, since locatives in Klingon can mean /on, in, at, /or even /by./ It's not impossible to interpret a non-object locative in front of *jaH* as the destination, but it generally won't be interpreted that way, since that's what the object is for. *DujDaq jaH chaH*/They go on the ship. /*DujDaq Qo'noS lujaH*/They go to Kronos on the ship./ It's all about whether the locative is the direct object or not. If it is, it's the destination. If it isn't, it's not the destination. // -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
