Klingon Pocket Dictionary: Reference Tables
Verb Prefix Table
This table is found easily accessible on the back cover of the dictionary.
It is somewhat different (better!) from what you find in the TKD in a few
aspects: (1) duplicated suffixes are close to each other, and therefore easier
to find, (2) placement of subject pronouns reflect the Klingon word order, (3)
imperatives, as well as indefinite subject constructions, are included, (4) the
table is, as far as possible, in Klingon only.

A shaded area indicates that pronouns and/or suffixes must
be used, and a single dash “-” indicates that no prefix is
applied to the verb for that particular combination of subject/object.
Note that Type 1 verb suffixes -’egh onself
and -chuq each
other [TKD 4.2.1], and Type 4 verb suffix -moH cause [TKD 4.2.4] also affect the way
in which prefixes are used [HQ 7:3, p.3].
Suffix Type Overview
These tables are located on the inside of the back cover. They are primarily
intended to aid memory as to which suffixes exist, and what type they have. See
