[tlhIngan Hol] [KLBC] Can you use several adjective-verbs for the same noun?

[John R. Harness]

Hi all --

Lieven:
"And regarding your question, you already answered it yourself - but I'll
let the BG tell you why."

Actually I don't know why, other than that's how people do it. Maybe
because it starts to produce parsing errors?

mughwI':
“jaqbogh ‘ach maw’bogh ‘ej wochbogh yaS Qup vIlegh.”

I think this is alright but why do it that way? -> Consider: {{yaS Qup
vIlegh. jaq, woch... 'ach maw'qu'!}}

'arHa
