<br>
Recently, we were given the noun {noq}, meaning both nipple (anatomy)<br>
and nipple (like on a bottle). The plural is {noqDu'} when referring<br>
to a body part, and {noqmey} when referring to bottles.<br>
<br>
In KGT, we were told this about {DeSqIv}:<br>
<A {bargh} is probably the most frequently used pot. It is rather<br>
large and has a flattened bottom. The smaller {nevDagh} is<br>
characterized by its V-shaped handles, termed {DeSqIvDu'} ("elbows";<br>
note that {-Du'}, the plural suffix for body parts, is used here even<br>
though the handles are not literally body parts).><br>
<br>
Previously, some people have taken this to imply that body parts were<br>
a noun class in Klingon, and that body part words take the {-Du'}<br>
suffix even when not referring to a body part. But {noq} seems to<br>
contradict this.<br>
<br>
What's going on here? Is one or the other of {noq} or {DeSqIv} an<br>
exception to the rule, and if so, what's the rule? Or does each body<br>
part word work differently when used to refer to a non-body-part in<br>
the plural, and it's just something you have to memorise?<br>
<br>
Incidentally, the online version of the qep'a' booklet where {noq} was<br>
given seems to have disappeared:<br>

Does anyone have a copy of it?<br>
