[tlhIngan Hol] QAO

[Will Martin]

It occurred to me today as an echo to the discussion about Sentence As Object, and Krankor’s example that erred toward accepting a question as the first sentence, that there might actually be a case for this with certain second verbs:

chay’ leSpal vIchenmoHlaH ‘e’ vISIv.

Or, to rewrite Krankor’s example:

chay’ Duj’a’ vIghajlaH DaH ‘e’ boSIvbe’choH.

Other verbs that would naturally have a question as their Direct Object, like {ghel} might also serve, if this proved to be acceptable.

There are no stated rules and no canon to support this. It just makes sense…

… and it would give Okrand an answer to how to effectively use {SIv}, which he wondered about so much in his interview...

(ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)
