| Combinations with ben and quantity words other than numbers are often seen on tlhingan-hol, even though canon support for them is (so far) missing. E.g. ben law’ many years ago, ben puS [a] few years ago, ’op ben some (unknown number of) years ago. |

| Igor/Aryeh pointed out [on tlhingan-hol] that the Hebrew word *ben* son is used when giving ages (for males); e.g. *Ani ben X* I am X [years] old, *Hu ben X* He is X [years] old. |

| cite:
| One of the more notable native animal forms on Neural [Zeta Boötis III] is the mugato, a large, white, ape-like creature with dorsal spines and a cranial horn. The mugato are monogamous, mating for life. Little or no provocation will spark an attack by this hostile creature, whose bite is highly poisonous and fatal if untreated. The only antidote for the mugato bite is the proper application of the native mako root, which has the ability to draw the toxin out of the human nervous system. [No mention is made of how to draw it out of a Klingon nervous system. Of the planet, the text says:] The native inhabitants of the planet are humanoid, possibly the descendants of a Centaurian exploration mission that disappeared in the area some two hundred years ago. The population was once one of tranquil, peace-loving hunters, but a serious breach of the Prime Directive has resulted in their development of war and comparatively advanced projectile weapons. Direct Klingon interference, countered by Federation involvement, has divided the inhabitants into five major factions, each of which is feuding with the other four.

| The pronouns ’e’ and net are used only in special sentence constructions (see section 6.2.5). [TKD 5.1/p.51] |
| cite:
| Klingon has two special pronouns, ’e’ and net, which refer to the previous sentence as a whole. They are used primarily, though not exclusively, with verbs of thinking or observation (such as know, see). They are always treated as the object of the verb, and the verb always takes a prefix indicating a third-person singular object. What is a single sentence in English is often two sentences in Klingon. net is used only under special circumstances (see page 66), but ’e’ is common. [TKD 6.2.5/p.65] |
| cite:
| When the verb of the second sentence has a third-person subject (that is, the pronominal prefix is 0) but the intended meaning is one or someone, rather than he, she, it, or they, net is used instead of ’e’. ¶ qama’pu’ DIHoH net Sov One knows we kill prisoners. ¶ As above, the first sentence here is qama’pu’ DIHoH We kill prisoners. The second sentence is net Sov One knows that. The full construction implies that it is common knowledge that the group to which the speaker belongs kills prisoners. ¶ Qu’vaD lI’ net tu’bej One certainly finds it useful for the mission. [TKD 6.2.5/p.66] |
| com:
| net (like ’e’) is always used as the object of a sentence, and refers back to the previous sentence as a whole. When used, the verb of the second sentence alway takes the 0 prefix (indicating third-person subject/third-person singular object) and the full construction indicates that the speaker express something they believe they have in common with their peers (this is usually translated into English using the generic pronoun one). |

| Federation Catalog Name is Zeta Boötis III. This Class M world is the third of ten that orbit a brilliant, moderate-size yellow star in a binary system. The planet is quite Earth-like, with vast oceans and desert, moderate, and tropical climate zones. Neural is the only planet in the Zeta Boötis system to have a moon, which has been named Asetia by the native population of Neural's lower desert. The native inhabitants of the planet are humanoid, possibly the descendants of a Centaurian exploration mission that disappeared in the area some two hundred years ago. The population was once one of tranquil, peace-loving hunters, but a serious breach of the Prime Directive has resulted in their development of war and comparatively advanced projectile weapons.

| The adverbial is ngugh. It is used mainly to emphasize that a particular event occurred at the same time as something else, though ngugh doesn't indicate what that time is. Something else in the discussion makes that clear. ngugh does not mean "at some (vague) time in the past" or "at some (unknown) time in the future." For example: ¶ vagh SanID ben buDbe’ wamwI’pu’. ngugh Ho’Du’chaj lo’ chaH, ’ach DaH tajmey lo’. 5,000 years ago, hunters were not lazy. Then (at that time) they used their teeth, but now they use knives. ¶ DungluQ tIHIv. ngugh Qongbe’ chaH. Attack them at noon! They won't be sleeping then. (or: Attack them at noon. They're not sleeping then.) [1999-11-05-News (HolQeD-08-4-a pp.8--9)] |

| Rather than violating the rules by using the two [type 5] suffixes sequentially (that is, -lu’laH or -laHlu’), however, these speakers will say either -luH or -la’, employing totally artificial, made-up suffixes formed by fusing -lu’ and -laH, as in jagh jonluH or jagh jonla’ (The enemy can be captured). No one accepts such constructions as grammatical; their inappropriateness, the way they grate on the Klingon ear, is exactly what gives them elocutionary clout. A visitor may hear one of these odd suffixes occasionally, but, as with other intentionally ungrammatical forms, it is best to avoid using them until one is extremely comfortable with the nuances of Klingon style.
