Conjunctions - "Or," Joining Sentences

Last time, the conjunction joq and/or was introduced. joq is used to join nouns together, and goes after the joined nouns.

qagh chab joqGagh and/or a pie
vulqanganpu' romuluSnganpu' joqVulcans and/or Romulans
ghaH ghaH joqhim and/or her

The and/or conjunction that joins sentences together is qoj. All sentence-joining conjunctions come between the sentences they join. That includes qoj.

Examples:-

jaghDaj Suv tlhIngan qoj tera'ngan jagh Suv tlhInganThe Klingon fights his own enemy and/or the Terran's enemy
tachmeyDaq SuvtaH SuvwI'pu' qoj pa' SoptaH SuvwI'pu' qoj pa' tlhutlhtaH SuvwI'pu' net SovOne knows that warriors eat and/or fight and/or drink in bars
yIQaQ qoj yIDajBe good and/or interesting
jaghpu'vo' maqetqangbe' qoj maSo'qangbe'. DISuvnISWe are unwilling either to run from the enemies or hide from them. We must fight them
DIqaghnIS qoj mamumnIS qoj vay' wIta'nISWe've got to interrupt them or intervene or do something
