<div class="">It is confusing that English uses “only” sometimes
to mean “exclusively”, and other times to mean “merely”, and
Okrand chose to use the word “only” instead of sticking to the
more specific “exclusively” or “merely”. It means that we can’t
be sure whether the canon examples intentionally or accidentally
suggest different meaning depending on whether it follows nouns
or verbs.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">SuStel appropriately assumes it was intentional,
since there are apparently no contradictory examples in canon to
suggest otherwise, leaving us with a little extra work to do if
we want to convey the meaning we don’t have an example for in
canon.</div>
</blockquote><p class="">No... Okrand says so explicitly in TKD:</p>
<blockquote class=""><p class="">Unlike the other adverbials, <b class="">[neH]</b> follows the verb
which it modifies. The semantic effect is one of trivializing
the action. <br class="">
</p><p class="">[...]<br class="">
</p><p class="">Also unlike the other adverbials, <b class="">neH </b>can follow a
noun. In such cases, it means <i class="">only, alone.</i><br class="">
