Another thing which perhaps needs clarification is the vonlu'.

A little bird told me, that at the kgt it is written {bIvonlu'pu'} instead
of {Davonlu'pu'}.

So, this raises the question, whether the {-lu'} shoved up the {von} of
{vonlu'} is the indefinite subject suffix which we all know and love, or
whether it is just a {lu'} which happened to cross the street while this
word was being created.

So, could someone write {vonlu'lu'} for "someone has failed utterly " ?

And if it is indeed the indefinite subject suffix {-lu'}, then for "someone
again failed utterly", do we write {vonqa'lu'} or {vonlu'qa'} ? Because if
we write {vonqa'lu'} how would someone be able to differentiate from the
{vonqa'lu'} which would mean "someone trapped him/them again" ?

I'm tired of having to "throw the cards" (greek expression meaning "trying
to guess"), in order to clarify grammar which should have been already
clarified at numerous qep'a'mey and qepHommey so far (as is the case with
{ngIq}, the verb prefix after a {joq}, etc etc etc..).

After all I've have come to terms, that probably there will never be any
answers.

vaj chaq vIghelqanglu': qatlh QInvam DaghItlh ?

'ej ghIq bIjang: DaH, naDev Dalmo', 'ej Dochmey qaq vIqaSmoHlaHbogh
vIghajbe'..
