<div>But when I came to the "with the passage of time people just
display more what they really are", the problem was that since I
was writing this on twitter, there was a character limit, so I
needed to keep it short.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And it was then when the "roar in crescendo" Ca'Non came to
mind: {beyHom bey bey'a' jachtaH}; so I wrote:</div>

<div dir="auto">qanchoHtaHvIS nuv, choHbe'; not choHbej vay'. 'a
qaStaHvIS yInDaj DISmey, DI'onmeyna'Daj 'agh 'aghqu' 'aghchu'</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
Would the {qaStaHvIS yInDaj DISmey, DI'onmeyna'Daj 'agh 'aghqu'
'aghchu'} be appropriate for this purpose? I can't see anything
grammatically wrong with it.</blockquote>
<p>With verbs I would take them as a poetic flourish rather than
grammatically allowed. I wouldn't have any problem with someone
stacking verbs this way in speech, but I wouldn't necessarily call
it grammatical. You could put periods after each verb to make it
grammatical, but it's all supposed to be one idea, so that isn't
satisfactory. You could put semi-colons after each verb to make it
grammatical, which would be better. But I wouldn't bother if my
audience wasn't sensitive to grammar.<br>
</p>
<p>I do, however, disagree that <b>'agh, 'aghqu', 'aghchu'</b>
represents a linear increase in the same way that <b>beyHom, bey,
bey'a'</b> does. <b>'agh</b> means <i>reveal</i><i>;<b> </b></i><b>'aghqu'</b>
means something like <i>expose,</i> and <b>'aghchu'</b> means <i>reveal
perfectly </i>(that is, definitely without anything remaining
hidden). I don't see these as simple degrees.</p>
<p>You'd pretty much get the sense of this by saying <b>qaStaHvIS
yInDaj DISmey, DI'onmeyna' 'aghtaH.</b> To <i>continuously
reveal</i> implies more and more getting revealed, which is the
meaning you're after, and it's shorter to boot.<br>
