<pre wrap="">Still, on a related note, I've been having problems recently trying to
figure out a reasonable way, with or without {ngIq}, to say "atom by
atom
[something happens]" and "cell by cell [something else happens]".

<pre wrap="">I presume this has to do with this DSC promo?

"Atom by atom, they will silence us. Cell by cell, our souls shall
become theirs."
</pre>

<pre wrap="">Indeed, for this excercise I think I settled on this version (which omits
ngIq) for the whole promo text. Even after re-reading mayqel's thread and
this one a few times, I'm/still/ not clear how to use ngIq for my own
purposes yet.

<pre wrap="">This doesn't work. <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>ghIq<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> is an adverbial; it attaches to sentences, not
nouns.
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">Good point, but I'm not too sure it's the atoms that are doing the silencing.</pre>

<br>
<p><i>They</i> are doing the silencing. The atoms are being
silenced. What else does <i>atom by atom, they will silence us</i>
mean?</p>

<blockquote type="cite"

<pre wrap="">So how about this instead?:

<br>
<p><i>While one atom replaces another atom, they silence us.</i></p>
<p>I have no idea what this means. I also don't like how <b>latlh</b>
precedes <b>wa';</b> you haven't introduced the <b>wa'</b> yet
that can have a <b>latlh.</b><br>

<p><i>While one cell replaces another cell, our spirits become their
spirits.</i></p>
<p>If this is supposed to suggest an agency by which our spirits
become their spirits, it fails to do so. It only suggests
simultaneity. One thing happens at the same time as another; one
thing does not happen by means of the other.<br>
