I'm Fred Horein, and I just subscribed recently. At first when I discovered
that Klingons don't have a verb "to be", I thought Marc Okrand was nuts. But
really he wasn't. You need verbs like "the same", but that is easially handled
by " 'oH", "ghaH", etc. Now for "to be or not to be", what Hamlet really meant
was "to live or not to live", or "yIn pagh yInbe' ". No, I have no objections
to the lack of "to be", however I have some questions about some ommisions with
grammer. By the way: are there more words available than those in the Klingon
Dictionary? Would like to be able to say "big bussiness tycoon" in Klingon so
I can translate some songs.
