<p>Or <i>We are able to not resume eating.</i> Maybe someone is
forcing people to resume eating, but we can avoid being so forced.</p>

<p><b>maSopqa'laHbe'</b></p>
<p>The meanings of Klingon suffixes don't necessarily have to be
applied in a particular order. You're just forced to write them in
a certain order no matter where their meanings lie.<br>
<b></b></p>
<p><b>maSopqa'laHbe'<br>
</b><b>ma-:</b> we do something<br>
<b>Sop:</b> the action is eating<br>
<b>-qa':</b> something resumes or happens again<br>
<b>-laH:</b> the subject is able to do something<br>
<b>-be':</b> negates either the <b>-laH</b> or all of <b>Sopqa'laH.</b></p>
<p>Let's assume the <b>-be'</b> applies only to the <b>-laH.</b> <i>Not
able, resume, eat.</i> This might mean we resume being not able
to eat, or it might mean we are not able to resume eating. As
always, Captain Context is there to help.</p>
<p>Or we can assume the <b>-be'</b> applies to the whole thing. <b>maSopqa'laH</b>
means we are able to resume eating or we resume being able to eat.
With the <b>-be',</b> it means we are not able to resume eating
or we do not resume being able to eat.<br>
