'entepray''a'?
by Daniel Dadap 17 Nov '18

17 Nov '18

In Star Trek V, there’s a scene where tlha'a HoD says “'entepray''a'?” and it’s captioned in English as “Enterprise?” Surely, he wasn’t adding the type nine verb suffix “-'a'” to a noun, so what was he doing? * Using the type one noun suffix “-'a'” to mean something like “The great Enterprise?” * Referring to the “Enterprise-A” with registry number NCC-1701-A * Momentarily forgetting proper grammar for a moment because he was so excited * Using a dialect or slang where forming questions this way is allowed * Adding the verb suffix “-'a'” to a noun, after all * Some combination of some of the above possibilities * Something else Are there other examples where the interrogative marker is added to a noun for a similar kind of sentence fragment as a question? Has Maltz ever commented on this?

Is the emphatic {chaH} Ca'NoN ?
by mayqel qunenoS 16 Nov '18

16 Nov '18

Lets say I write: {vIghro'mey legh} for "they see the cats". maj.. Alternatively, I can write {vIghro'mey legh chaH}, for the same meaning. maj again.. Often I read, that by writing the {chaH} too, I'm placing emphasis on who it is who sees the cats; i.e. I'm actually saying: "THEY see the cats". Which is something I can't understand, since I always thought, that if I want to emphasize the {chaH} I would use the emphatic {-'e'}, as such: {vIghro'mey legh chaH'e'} So, I would like to ask.. Why if I write {vIghro'mey legh chaH}, without adding the {-'e'} on {chaH}, I'm actually emphasizing it ? (the {chaH} I mean). Can't I just be writing the {chaH}, in order to specify that it is "they" who see the cats instead of "him/her/it" ? Is this "emphatic" interpretation of {chaH} Ca'NoN or something ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS
