[tlhIngan Hol] QAO

It occurred to me today as an echo to the discussion about Sentence As Object, and Krankor’s example that erred toward accepting a question as the first sentence, that there might actually be a case for this with certain second verbs: chay’ leSpal vIchenmoHlaH ‘e’ vISIv. Or, to rewrite Krankor’s example: chay’ Duj’a’ vIghajlaH DaH ‘e’ boSIvbe’choH. Other verbs that would naturally have a question as their Direct Object, like {ghel} might also serve, if this proved to be acceptable. There are no stated rules and no canon to support this. It just makes sense… … and it would give Okrand an answer to how to effectively use {SIv}, which he wondered about so much in his interview... pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)
