When I first read [ HIvchu'mo' Heghta' ], the first (and I guess only) thought that went through my mind was "He (intentionally) died because he did a suicide attack." It made sense to me, so I didn't think any further on it.
Thanks for confirming what I said. I didn't mean to argue that {Heghta'} is ungrammatical, it just made no sense to me that somebody died intentionally (except for commiting suicide). In the above example, it is defined that {Suvchu'} means "fight til death" but I think it's not implied that one /intentionally/ dies in such a battle. It's not clear from KGT. (I'm not any army person; I guess there are some soldiers here who will confirm that fighting til death might be a possible situation, but do you do that intentionally? Would the friends of a dead soldier say "He did it; he's dead now"?) -- Lieven L. Litaer aka Quvar valer 'utlh Grammarian of the KLI http://www.facebook.com/Klingonteacher http://www.klingonwiki.net
