I'm comfortable with the idea that, in general, intransitive verbs
can be used as adjectives, but I know I'll get discussion on it.
~mark in particular objected to my translating "butterfly" as
"ghargh joq" even though I argued that "joq" could mean "be
fluttering." I suppose it would be a very Klingon thing to get
into fist fights over this, but I'll back off and watch the
discussion some more.
