What Kosh is Really Saying When he Says "Yes"...

... Does that mean if takes about 3 seconds to say 'yes', then the direct translation of Vorlon would be: 'Absolutely, bloody-oath, no-doubt-about-it, positively correct matey!' or words to to the similar?

Naaa...I reckon "yes" is the default answer.

Like, if someone says, "Hey Kosh, your ship just gave me a wedgie!"

He says (in Vorlon): "The rabbit knows only too well the ways of the pineapple. Small dimply projectiles are the true way to achieve universal harmony. Eating shadows gives me indigestion".

Now, the translator reads in all of that and had NO IDEA exactly what Kosh was trying to say....so it just defaults to "yes". Easy! ;)
