[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: tIng

[kechpaja at kechpaja.com]

I don't remember the specifics of the argument, and I'm not entirely 
sure what to search my email archives for to find it, but you're 
probably right.

It's also entirely possible that that particular argument was in a 
context where it was much more clearly a case where the first noun with 
{-Daq} was trying to modify the second, rather than both modifying the 
verb. 

I don't really have a horse in this race, I'm just bringing up something 
that was discussed before in the hope that it might shed some light on 
the current question.
