We write: {romuluSngan HoS law' qarDaSngan HoS puS jay'} The first question is "can we place the {jay'} on a law' puS construction ?". In the case it is something we can do, one could start to wonder.. Does the construction above mean "the #!@! romulan is stronger than the cardassian", or does it mean "the romulan is stronger than the #!@! cardassian" ? Or does it mean "the romulan is #!@! stronger than the cardassian" ? Or is it that we can't apply the "#!@!" to only one part of the comparative construction, or any kind of sentence ? The way I understand the {jay'}, is that we can't apply it to only one element of a sentence, because it's job is to actually turn the entirety of sentence to an invective. In greek/english we can place the f*** on only one word of a sentence, but the way I understand the {jay'} we can't do something similar in klingon. But I'm asking just to make certain my understanding is correct. On the other hand though, perhaps for reasons I don't know, we can't use the {jay'} on a law' puS construction, and this whole post is wrong from the start. ~ Qa'yIn

No reason we can't.

*jay'* turns the entire sentence into an invective. It does not apply invective to any single part of the sentence. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
