Description

This Klingon Language Discussions mailing list, was established
in 1999 by the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps, to serve as
a meeting place for novice level students to discuss topics related
to the Klingon language and it's usage. Questions and discussion
are aimed primarily at the beginner's level, although we encourage
more experienced speakers to share their expertise and knowledge
with others. We welcome Klingons of all affiliations, groups and
clubs to participate, and only ask that they remain friendly,
supportive and helpful to each other with no bad-mouthing or politics.
We do recommend that if you are seriously interested in studying the Klingon language, to consider becoming a member of the Klingon Language Institute.
This non-profit organization is recognized by Paramount for their
educational and linguistic works, and any and all profits go back
into the organization's ongoing efforts.
This list is hosted and moderated by the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps, the world's largest Klingon online cultural resource.

Re: -ta' vs. -pu'
... Correct me if I'm wrong, but this could also mean: "They will have killed him/her", right? Since -pu' and -ta' only encode aspect, not tense. (Similarly

Re: -ta' vs. -pu'
Ok, then... What exactly does the word "perfective" mean? I see it a lot in reference to {-pu'}, but I've never been quite clear on its meaning.
