{-moH} and two things instead of three
by mayqel qunenoS 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Lets remember an example which was written sometime ago in another thread.. Ha'DIbaHvaD mo' wI'elmoH we cause the animal to enter the cage Here, we have three things: an animal, a cage, and us. What would happen though, if we had only two things ? "the vulcans, caused the federation to accept them (the "them" referring to themselves, the vulcans)". Here we have only two things: the federation and the vulcans. So how would we say that ? Instinctively, I would write: {yuQjIjDI'vI'vaD vulqanganpu' lajmoH vulqanganpu'} But, my problem is, that the {vulqanganpu'} which precedes and follows the {lajmoH} is the same, i.e. it refers to the same people. As I understand it, the "they-them" zero-prefix, is to be used only when the "they" is other than the "them". So, at the above example, we can't say {vulqanganpu' lajmoH vulqanganpu'}. So, should we say instead the following ? {yuQjIjDI'vI'vaD laj'eghmoH vulqanganpu'} But this approach perhaps produces the meaning "the vulcans caused themselves to accept themselves, for the federation". Can someone, who knows what's going on here, shed some light on this ? ~ nI'ghma

maltz on boQ and QaH
by mayqel qunenoS 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Some time ago, someone on this list had received info from maltz with regards to {boQ} and {QaH}. Info with regards to the differences between them. Since, I didn't follow my own advice (which I wrote at another thread few minutes ago), and I didn't save that message, could someone repost that info ? thanks ~ nI'ghma

Needle in the haystack..
by mayqel qunenoS 21 Mar '18

I tried searching at the kli.org list archives for a thread but I can't jay' find it. It must have happened at the beginning of 2016. As I remember I had written a sao which had an {'ach} before the {'e'}: {yadda yadda yadda, 'ach 'e' yadda}. Then SuStel and lojmIt tI'wI' nuv debated whether the {'ach} can be placed right before the {'e'}. Is there something like an advanced search option to search the archives ? ~ nI'ghma

SuS and objects
by David Holt 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

De'vID, I notice that you added some information to the boQwI' entry for SuS. There has been some question about how to say what you are blowing into. You addition to boQwI' seems to imply that the instrument should be the direct object and it clearly says that the locative is for something that is being blown at rather than being blown through. Your note is marked as coming from Saarbrucken qepHom'a' 2017, but I don't remember seeing that announced and it's not noted in the KLI's new word list or at Hol 'ampaS. Can you tell us more about it?
