Before that, we just had {chuvmey}. It could well be the case that, just as (native) Klingon linguists were previously rumored to have only three classes of words (DIp, wot, chuvmey), which {qunI’} proves to be inaccurate, Klingon linguists might well have different types of {qunI’} with other names for them, just as {qunI’} is another name for a type of {chuvmey}. English has a category of word called “adverb”, but that doesn’t mean Klingon is locked into a single word for all subtypes. There may be other terms we simply don’t know yet.<br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 18, 2022, at 6:19 AM, mayqel qunen'oS <<a href="mailto:mihkoun@gmail.com" class="">mihkoun@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class="">lieven:<br class="">> The analysis is on the page Word order in the Wiki:<br class="">> <a href="http://klingon.wiki/En/WordOrder" class="">http://klingon.wiki/En/WordOrder</a><br class=""><br class="">For the altruistic purpose of helping others follow this thread with ease, but more for the selfish reason of helping myself when I pdf this thread and add it to my notes, I'll perform a glorious copy-paste of the relevant part of that honorable page..<br class=""><br class="">**********wiki quote in rich text starts**********<br class=""><div class=""><h2 class=""><font size="4" class="">relative ordering of Adverbials</font> </h2>
There are no written rules about the ordering of adverbials, but there seems to be a scheme based on canon examples. <ul class=""><li class=""> Each adverbial apparently applies to all that follows.
</li><li class=""> Degree of certainty seems to precede the scope of the
expected delay before the action, and that precedes the quality of the
action.
</li><li class=""> Since <strong class="">vaj</strong> tends to connect what follows it to a clause or sentence that preceded it, that should come before all else.
</li></ul>
It seems almost as if there were types of adverbs similar to the way Klingon has types of <a href="http://klingon.wiki/bin/view/En/VerbSuffixes" class="">verb suffixes</a>, based on the following canon examples:
<strong class="">chaq batlh bIvangqa'laH</strong> <br class="">
<em class="">You might have a chance to make amends.</em> <br class="">
(<a href="http://klingon.wiki/bin/view/En/Paqbatlh" class="">paq'batlh</a> p. 100-101)
<strong class="">chaq tugh batlh Heghmo' 'ej chaq tugh charghmo'</strong> <br class="">
<em class="">For they may soon die with honor! For they may soon be victorious!</em> <br class="">
(<a href="http://klingon.wiki/bin/view/En/Paqbatlh" class="">paq'batlh</a> p. 120-121)
<strong class="">reH batlh SuvtaHjaj chaH</strong> <br class="">
<em class="">Let endless battle and honor await them!</em> <br class="">
(<a href="http://klingon.wiki/bin/view/En/Paqbatlh" class="">paq'batlh</a> p. 150-151)
<strong class="">vaj pe'vIl joqqu' cha' tlhIngan tIqDu'</strong> <br class="">
<em class="">Both Klingon hearts beat, at their strongest, in lust for blood.</em> <br class="">

You probably can't have two of the same type, and you can have zero or one of each type in any verb clause. <br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">**********wiki quote in rich text ends**********</div><div class=""><br class=""></div>-- <br class="">Dana'an<br class=""><a href="https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/" class="">https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/</a><br class="">Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ</div>
