I do, indeed, hold to the concept that Klingons note a difference in the st=
ative verbs ("be verbs)" and the active verbs and that the stative verbs wo=
rk differently with {-moH} than active verbs do.  It's not the only differe=
nce between the types of verbs, so I am comfortable adding this to the list=
 of differences.
