<p class="MsoNormal">(ghunchu'wI', 8/21/2011 < qep’a’ 2011): <b>'o</b> appears before a name used as direct address. As we saw it used, it acted a little like a vocative prefix:
<b>'o qeylIS, qeylIS, qeylIS</b>... It seems to be an honorific exclamation, or maybe it's just used for direct address in general and doesn't actually have the implication of deference or reverence that I inferred. If it hadn't been consistently present when
the opera "speaks to" Kahless, and consistently absent when it "speaks to" Molor, I might have ignored it as an unimportant background sound.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
(Qov, 8/21/2011 < qep’a’ 2011): Marc was present while we discussed the vocative case in that context and he didn't seem to object at all to that characterization. I know he has a talent for making you think he's confirmed whatever you think, but I think it's
just a name-invoking particle without particular commendation. The funniest part, to me, was the next day when we were singing Kumbaya and watching Qanqor suddenly realize that we have being saying <<<b>'o qeylIS</b>>> all along. Marc was also dismissive about
<b>'o</b>, like it wasn't really a new word, was just <b>'o.</b><br>
