Kevin Wilson replies:
I assume, probably wrongly, that you were trying to say "A definite
warrior knows when to finish speaking." However, you used the word ghorgh
which is a question word. This seems to me to translate as "When does a
definite warrior know that he is finished speaking?" Unfortunately,
we do not have a relative/temporal pronoun in tlhIngan Hol.
