buy'qu' ngop! There's so much material in that book; an updated edition (and the comments that arise from it) could be a splendid regerence.<br>

<p>It could be that there is some distinction, perhaps similar to referring to soldiers as {mangpu'} or {negh} depending on if you are speaking of them as individuals or not.</p>
<p>On the other hand, paq'batlh contains quite a few mistakes, so that is another possibility.</p>

I am working with Dr. Okrand on correcting errors in the paq'batlh for a 2nd edition, and I can confirm that {qorDu'lI'} and {qorDu'wI'} are errors and will be fixed to {qorDu'lIj} and {qorDu'wIj}.

<div>{qorDu'} should be considered something that is not capable of language (though its individual members, of course, might be… and normally are).<br>
