<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Courier">Note that <b>tlhoy</b> “overly, excessively, too much” is an adverbial while
<b>‘Iq </b>is a quality (or stative verb). Before I posted just the part about <b>
‘Iq</b>. Here’s the full quote:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Courier"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:Courier">(IMO,
<i>HQ</i> 8.3): "It is used in such sentences as <b>tlhoy jISop.</b> <i>I eat too much</i>,
<i>I eat excessively</i>. <b>tlhoy bIQong</b> <i>you sleep too much</i>, <i>you sleep excessively</i>. When
<b>tlhoy </b>is used, it denotes that the action expressed by the verb is what is being overly done or done too much. Thus the sentence:
<b>tlhoy qagh vISop</b> <i>I eat too much gagh</i>, <i>I eat gagh excessively</i>,
<i>I overeat gagh</i> expresses the notion that the eating is excessive, not that the amount of
<i>gagh </i>is. (Note that although it is possible to say this, it is not something anybody would be likely to ever say.) Similarly,
<b>tlhoy yIHmey vIlegh</b> <i>I see too many tribbles</i> means <i>I overly see tribbles</i> (perhaps this could be used if one meant something like 'I see tribbles far too frequently and in far too many places'). To express the idea of 'too much
<i>gagh</i>' or 'too many tribbles,' the verb <b>'Iq</b> <i>be too many, be too much</i> is used adjectivally. For example:
<b>yIHmey 'Iq vIlegh</b> <i>I see too many tribbles</i>. <b>qagh 'Iq vISop</b> <i>
I eat too much gagh</i>. Sometimes, the word <b>law'qu'</b> <i>be very many</i> (formed from
<b>law'</b> <i>be many</i> plus –<b>qu'</b>, the emphatic suffix) is translated <i>
be too many</i>. If the context is clear, this is acceptable, but if it important to stress the idea of
<i>overly many, overly much, more than there ought to be</i>, <b>tlhoy </b>or <b>
'Iq</b> is usually employed." </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
