I don't understand this. /Because she has yet had a husband, we cannot have sex./ If you're trying to say /because she still has a husband,/ don't make it perfective. *wejHa' loDnal ghajmo' */because she still has a husband./ If you want to avoid the unattested word *wejHa',* you can say *loDnal ghajtaHmo'*/because she continuously has a husband./ The English convention of telling stories in the past tense doesn't apply to Klingon. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

you're right ! my mistake.. I was aiming for "because she already had a husband". SuStel:

If you're trying to say because she still has a husband, don't make it perfective. wejHa' loDnal ghajmo' because she still has a husband. If you want to avoid the unattested word wejHa', you can say loDnal ghajtaHmo' because she continuously has a husband.
