Instead of "Kill one, I don't care who" he said "Kill, I don't care." When Okrand decided that the imperative prefix suggested a singular object, then what the actor said was "Kill (one), I don't care" which might be clear enough to the listener. So I suppose that Okrand saw no need to explain why it was legal to drop vay, beyond supposing that that meaning could be inferred from the context. I don't know for sure though.
How do you say "I hate the sound his pen makes when he writes" in Klingon?

In the bit vay' jISaHbe', why did the vay' go. Does anyone actually know. I'm not learning it, but I'm just interested.
Nevertheless, I can now go to people and say *yIHoH, jISaHbe'*

sounds like "yaHoH" what C. Lloyd says, as if he merged "way'" and "yI".

STIII's Klingonese sounded far more threatening than it does in ST:NG and DS9.
