I've been thinking about the use of net in a sentence.=0A=0AThe Klingon Dic=
tionary has this to say about net:-=0A=0AWhen the verb of the second senten=
ce has a third-personsubject (that is, the pronominal prefix is 0) but the =
intended meaning is one or someone, rather than he, she, it, or they, net i=
s used instead of 'e'.=0A=0A=0AThe Klingon Dictionary uses {net} in two exa=
mple sentences:-=0A=0Aqama'pu' DIHoH net Sov - One knows we killprisoners=
=0AQu'vaD lI' net tu'bej One certainly finds it useful for the mission=0A=
=0AI wonder. What other uses have you found for net in a sentence?=0A=0AWou=
ld you, for instance, use qatlh DujlIj'e' nIHta' ra'wI' net SIv One wonders=
why the Commander stole your ship=0A=0Aor jagh Suvlu'DI' net taj jej lo'nI=
S; jagh HoSghaj Suvlu'DI' net to' jej lo'nIS When fighting an enemy, one mu=
st use a sharp blade; when fighting a powerful enemy, one must use sharp ta=
ctics perhaps?=0A=0ATell me how you have used it, or why you have avoided i=
t.=0A
