Some work better than others, and {tlhap} doesn’t work especially well. It is good to exercise your vocabulary toward a specific meaning rather than overuse more generic verbs. I’d use {ra’} before I’d use {tlhap} in this instance, since it better explains the authority relationship and the action.</div><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jan 21, 2022, at 7:40 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=""><div class="">Suppose I write:<br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class="">Qang qopmeH HoD, wej mang tlhappu', 'ej vaS'a' lujaHpu'</div><div class="">in order to arrest the chancellor, the captain took three soldiers and went to the great hall</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Is this use of {tlhap} correct?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div dir="auto" class=""><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" class="">--<br class="">Dana'an <br class=""><a href="https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" class="">https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/</a><br class="">Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ</div></div>
