Using object prefix with {-vo'}
by mayqel qunenoS 09 Aug '17

juHDaq vIjaH I go to the house juHDaq jIjaH The going takes place in the vicinity of the house juHvo' jIjaH I am going away from the house We have said that when using the {-vo'}, as in the last example, we always use a prefix indicating no-object. But I wonder.. If we did write {juHvo' vIjaH}, then would it be considered wrong ? Does it violate any rules, or is it just that using a prefix indicating an object is unnecessary/redundant ? qunnoq

Placing the {-wI'} on verbs with prefixes
by mayqel qunenoS 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

There are some prefixes which have multiple meanings. For example: {vI-} for "I-he/she/it/them". But there are other prefixes, which have only one meaning. For example {jI-} for "I-none", {cho-} for "you-me". Using the prefixes which have only one meaning, could we write: {jIghItlhwI'} for "I who write" {chobejwI'} for "you who watches me" ? And I'm saying "using the prefixes which have only one meaning", because obviously if we used prefixes which have multiple meanings, the result would be ambiguous. qunnoq

Hoch and HochHom referring to things
by mayqel qunenoS 09 Aug '17

09 Aug '17

We know we can use the {Hoch} and {HochHom} on their own (without placing them next to/after nouns), to mean "all" and "almost all" the people/beings. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but as I understand it, we can use {Hoch} and {HochHom} on their own, meaning "all" and "almost all" the things. So, and if my last assumption is correct, are there any canon examples of the latter use of {Hoch} and {HochHom} ? qunnoq
