lughlaw' ghunchu'wI' 'ej ghItlhpu':
TKW 27: The Klingon word for "instincts" is {Duj}, and it is
grammatically correct to treat it as singular (a bundle or collection
of instincts) or plural (individual instincts).
jIghItlh:
I wonder if there's some connection between the meaning of {DujlIj
yIvoqtaH} "Always trust your instincts (each one separately)", and
{DujlIj _yI_toqtaH}; "Always trust you're /ship/." Is this an
intentional double entendre on MO's part? Or is it simply a
happenstance of homophony?
