SuStel:
It's a Maltz-said-so-special-phrase-so- shut-up-and-don't-generalize case. It is described in The Klingon Way as aberrant grammar. tkw quoted by the Ca'Non master: The grammatical construction is a bit aberrant; one would expect {QamtaHvIS} and {tortaHvIS}
Thank you SuStel and voragh for taking the time to explain this. While I was writing the initial post, I remembered that we had discussed in the past that the {QamvIS Hegh..} was a special case, but my confusion came from the fact, that I was under the impression, that its' being "a special case" was in reference only to the the {QamvIS} and the {torvIS} lacking a {-taH}. Anyway, good to know that its' being a special case refers to the placement of the second {-vIS} clause as well. Satlho'. ~ Dana'an DaH DIHIvnIS DIHIvlaHtaHvIS
