What you're asking is, can Klingons set aside parenthetical phrases?
/Often, while I'm reading this book, I laugh./ Notice that I set the
while-clause apart from the sentence with commas. This indicates an
interruption of my thought. I would not let it run on: /Often while I'm
reading this book I laugh./
Do Klingons do this? Probably. Everyday Klingon speech is probably a lot
less formal than we teach on this list. I don't think we've seen this
particular thing being done before, though.
