Placement of adverbial elements

It was earlier thought that all adverbials (except neH only) come at the beginning of the sentence. This is frequently the case, but what is really going on is that the adverbial precedes the object-verb-noun construction. It is possible for an element of another type to pre- cede the adverb. Most commonly, this is a time element (a noun or phrase meaning today, at six o’clock, etc.).

 

DaHjaj nom Soppu’

Today they ate quickly (DaHjaj today, nom quickly, Soppu’ they ate)

 

The adverbial may actually follow the object noun (but still precede the verb) when the object noun is topicalized by means of the noun suffix -’e’ (see Section 3.3.5.).

 

HaqwI’ ’e’ DaH yISam

Find the SURGEON now! (HaqwI’ surgeon, DaH now, yISam find him/her!)

 

INDIRECT OBJECTS

While the object of the verb is the recipient of the action, the indirect object may be considered the beneficiary. In a Klingon sentence, the indirect object precedes the object and is suffixed with the Type 5 noun suffix -vaD for, intended for. The suffix may be attached to either a noun or a pronoun.

yaSvaD taj nobpu’ qama’	The prisoner gave the officer the knife (yaS officer, taj knife, nobpu’ gave, qama’ prisoner)
chaHvaD Soj qem yaS	The officer brings them food (chaH they, Soj food, qem bring, yaS officer)
