There is a line in the book possibly indicating how to compare adverbs:
=A0=A0 Stories travel faster than a khrun =
=A0=A0 nom leng Hun nom lengqu' lut
=A0=A0 (pp 130-131)
Unless the line in English is merely a loose, poetic interpretation =
of the Klingon text, we should at last be able to express such ideas as:
=A0=A0 My ship is faster than yours.
=A0=A0 nom leng DujlIj, nom lengqu' DujwIj.
=A0=A0 I speak Klingon more slowly than you.
=A0=A0 QIt tlhIngan Hol bIjatlh, QIt tlhIngan Hol jIjatlhqu'.
=A0=A0 Your captain acts more honorably than you.
=A0=A0 batlh bIvang, batlh vangqu' HoDlI'.
=A0=A0 Terrans smile more often than Romulans.
=A0=A0 pIj mon romuluSnganpu', pIj monqu' tera'nganpu'.
I added the commas, though perhaps periods would work better here.
There in no punctuation in the Klingon text of <<paq'batlh>>.
'ISqu'
