Does {vabDot} always require a verb ?
by mayqel qunenoS 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

Suppose I want to say "everyone can become an officer, even my sheep". I could write {yaS lumojlaH Hoch, vabDot yaS mojlaH DI'raqwIj}. But could I just write instead, {yaS lumojlaH Hoch, vabDot DI'raqwIj} ? Do we necessarily need to use a verb with the {vabDot} ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS vIghro'mey nIv law' dogmey nIv puS

I tried to arrange them by topics, which I will use in the subject line, so the discussions about the words are also sorted. ---- chuq'a' leghwI' n. space telescope – This is like the Hubble, not a Hov tut. lay leng n. aeronautics Sach v. expand, can be used for: be amplified, fleshed out, elaborated, increased in scope, etc. [Okrand later explained on the example of a book: if you make an expanded version of it, then you {paq SachmoH}, "the book expands": {Sach paq} and you end up with a {paq Sach}, an "extended book".] tuj 'otlh n. infrared, infrared radiation SImyon n. degree (unit of measure for temperature) [use it like 'uj etc.] -- Lieven L.
