1. The canon examples of {ngIq} only give a rough idea of its precise
usage, so...

2. I only risk {ngIq} when I'm confident what I'm saying fits one of the
canon examples. I don't thank that's the case here. All the examples that
fit the "one after another" usage seem to imply "all of them, one at a
time", like checking items of a list. I think the phrase "city after city"
is less about a sequence and more about the idea that revolutions kept
breaking out *everywhere.*

3. {ngIq vengDaq qaSchoHtaH Daw'mey} could mean that revolutions kept
breaking out in a single city, like the Year of the Four Emperors. Or maybe
the plural {Daw'mey} implies multiple cities. I'm not sure, because point
number one.

But it looks like {vengDaq, vengmeyDaq je} isn't working, so I'll keep
working on it.
