:      My thanks to QumpIn 'avrIn for suggestions on Klingon equivalents to
: "with" in several of the English equivalents. Am I correct to presume that
: for "I'll go with you," the only appropriate equivalent is essentially, "You
: and I go."?

This is something like what's done in Japanese, where "anata to watakushi"
means "you and I", but "anata watakushi to" means "you with me" (though
admittedly pronouns aren't used in Japanese very much).
