the "get out" meaning of {lel}
by mayqel qunen'oS 13 Nov '19

13 Nov '19

The verb {lel} is given as "get out, take out". As far as the "take out" meaning, things are pretty straightforward: {'unwatDajvo' vIghro' tIQ vIlel} I take the ancient cat out of its' basket But what I can't understand, is how its' "get out" meaning is to be used. Could we say for instance {pa'vo' jIlel} for "I get out of the room" ? ~ bara'qa'

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] missing words from kli's "new words not in the original lexicon"

De'vID asked me off-list, what the mistake might be, so I thought I'd send this answer publically, as it seems important for all of us. The KLI new words list writes for the exclamation {jIr}: "When the word was first encountered it was accompanied by a gesture of pointing upward and moving the hand in a circular motion, but Marc Okrand made clear that the gesture is not an integral part of the exclamation." I'd like to add even more precise: Marc Okrand said: "No, forget about that. Don't write that down." So again, what he meant was: "DON'T! Write. That. Down!" I have had that discussion many years ago, and repeat it now. He clearly told us to ignore it, and it should have never gone even outside of that building we were at. So it's my request that this note is removed from the new words list because it's basically non-existant. (It's like saying "When okrand send me that word, he had a typo in his email, but I'm sure that thlIgnan is not a new word") -- Lieven L.

nuq bIH
by mayqel qunen'oS 12 Nov '19

12 Nov '19

I was wondering, whether we can say {nuq bIH *whatever*'e'}, with the "whatever" being plural of course. I'm used to seeing only {nuq 'oH *whatever*'e'}.. Suppose I write: {nuq bIH kermit'e' coookie monster'e' je ?} (With the obvious answer being: {raghghanmey}). Would it be correct, or would I *need* to write {nuq 'oH ...} ? ~ bara'qa'

neH and nouns joined by je
by mayqel qunen'oS 12 Nov '19

12 Nov '19

I want to say: "I see only a cat and the chancellor". There are two options: {vIghro' Qang je neH vIlegh} (vIghro neH Qang neH je vIlegh) Meaning-wise, perhaps the only difference is that the first means "I see only, a cat and the chancellor", while the second says "I see only a cat and only the chancellor". Other than that, which of the two would be "bettter" ? is this just a matter of personal preference ? ~ bara'qa'
