<div class="">It is confusing that English uses “only†sometimes
to mean “exclusivelyâ€, and other times to mean “merelyâ€, and
Okrand chose to use the word “only†instead of sticking to the
more specific “exclusively†or “merelyâ€. 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="">
