are three parts of speech (around 19 minutes in), he names them
*DIp*/nouns,/*wot*/verbs,/ and *latlh*/everything else./ <br>

I would guess that he just forgot about what they were called in
TKD and just from his mind translated "others" literally as
{latlh}. <br>
<br>
And staying "in the game": naming the {chuvmey} as {latlh} still
makes sense. {chuvmey} perhabs is not really a grammatical term,
but just a way to refer to anything that's not a verb or a noun
(or suffix, of course). <br>

<p>It would have to be the other way round: "By far the bulk of
Klingon words are nouns and verbs. There are a few others which,
probably as an expedient, Klingon grammarians lump together in a
group called <b>chuvmey</b> <i>leftovers.</i>"</p>
<p>So Marc may be calling them <b>latlh</b> when giving a talk at
Mythmoot, but <b>chuvmey</b> certainly is a grammatical term.<br>
