<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">If someone asked me to describe my understanding of the english "et
cetera/etc", I'd write the following two sentences:
"I like cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, etc"
"Whenever I walk, run, travel, do my homework, etc, I listen to music"
In the first sentence, the "et cetera" is used in reference to nouns,
while on the second in reference to verbs.
However, here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/etc" moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.dictionary.com/browse/etc</a>, I read:
----------
etc.
abbreviation
and others; and so forth; and so on (used to indicate that more of the
same sort or class might have been mentioned, but for brevity have
been omitted):
You can leave your coats, umbrellas, etc., at the door.
----------
So, I don't know whether my understanding of the english "etc" was
correct, since I believed that it <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>could<span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> be used too, in reference to
verbs, while here seemingly/apparently it says that it is used after a
string/sequence of nouns.</pre>

<p>Yes, you can use <i>etc.</i> with a list of verbs or any other
part of speech, provided the entire list is just one type (no
mixing of nouns and verbs, for instance).<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">But the real matter is what's the case with the klingon {latlh je}; is
it to be used only with reference to nouns, or can it be used in
reference to verbs too?
If I write the following then it's obviously correct:
tlhInganpu', romuluSnganpu', vulqanganpu', latlh je vIpar.
I dislike klingons, romulans, vulcans, etc.
But can I write the following too?
jIqettaHvIS, jIvumtaHvIS, jISeDtaHvIS, jIHaDtaHvIS, latlh je, jIDoy'choH.
While I run, work, drive, study, etc, I become tired.
I know that the klingon {latlh je} is essentially "and others", since
the {latlh} is a noun (so one would expect it to being used only in
reference to nouns..), but I'm wondering whether the {latlh je} can be
considered a "set phrase" something like the {tu'lu'} which we never
write as {lutu'lu'}.</pre>

<p>No data for an answer. I would expect it to only work with nouns,
since it's got a <b>je</b> with it, but that's not any kind of
proof.<br>
