We know that Klingons care little for grammatical redundancy, dropping plural suffixes where the prefix makes it clear that something is plural, etc. So, I was wondering…
DaHjaj megh wISop be'nalwI'.

Does that make sense to people? I could say, {DaHjaj megh wISop be'nalwI' jIH je}, but the {jIH je} really is grammatically redundant, isn't it? I mean, you know the speaker had to be part of it, being first person plural and all. Right?
