In moments of great danger, urgency, or emotional excitement, Klingons often drop pronominal prefixes from their speech. This is another form of clipped Klingon, where brevity and intensity take precedence over grammatical completeness.

For example, in proper Klingon, a speaker might say:

• qama'pu' vIjonta' vIneH – I wanted to capture prisoners.
  (qama'pu' – prisoners, vIjonta' – I captured them, vIneH – I want them)

In clipped Klingon, especially under pressure or excitement, this might be shortened to:

• qama'pu' jonta' neH – Wanted prisoners!

The omitted pronominal prefix vI- ("I–them") is understood from context. The speaker's intent is still clear: they wanted (and captured) the prisoners.

This kind of clipped speech is especially common in battle, emergencies, or intense arguments — any time when clarity and impact matter more than full grammatical form.
