KGT 17: Other regions have names that are distinct from the names of any districts or cities within them, such as the large Sa'Qej Sep (Sakrej region), several thousand kilometers east of the First City. The origins of most Klingon place names are not known, having been lost to history. Sometimes, however, the meaning of a place name is clear, such as the Sakrej region's HuD beQ yoS (Flat Mountain district) KGT 24: Another interesting grammatical difference is found in the way prepositional concepts (above, below, and so on) are expressed in the speech typical of the Sakrej (Sa'Qej) region. In the Sakrej region, however, possessive suffixes are used in place of the independent pronouns: 'emwIj (behind me--literally, 'my area behind'), bIngchaj (below them--literally, 'their area below'). Using the possessive suffix construction when speaking ta' Hol will not lead to misunderstandings, but it will associate the speaker with the residents of Sakrej, which, depending on the political situation, may or may not be beneficial. [...] In a divergence from the majority of Klingon dialects, the speakers of Sakrej and No'hvadut (noHva'Dut) do not follow this pattern. In these dialects, there is no reforming of the sentences for toasts; the subject always follows the verb. PUN: *jeQ'aS (jackass) backwards!
