{wa' nuvpu'vam} DIp-DIp tlhegh vIqeltaHvIS, mumISmoH vay'..

wa' (one) - singular
nuvpu' (people) - plural

But the {nuvpu'} is the head noun.. So, is the {wa' nuvpu'vam}
singular or plural ?

cha' mu'tlhegh veb tIlaD:

romuluSngan HoHta' wa' nuvpu'vam
one of these people killed the romulan
(wa' nuvpu'vam singular)

romuluSngan luHoHta' wa' nuvpu'vam
one of these people killed the romulan
(wa' nuvpu'vam plural)

nuq 'oH mu'tlhegh lugh'e' ?

jIH:

SuStel:
> I don't think it means what you want it to mean. nuvpu'vam wa' these people's one.

Do'Ha' jIyajlaHbe'; majatlh < baS 'In > "drum of metal", qar'a' ? vaj
qatlh majatlhlaHbe' je < nuvpu'vam wa' > "one of these people" ?
