X which are not Y

If I wanted to say, for example, "animals which are not tribbles", how would I do it? I don't think *yIHmey bIHbe'bogh Ha'DIbaHmey('e'?)* would be grammatical... but is there a good way to say it? -QISta'

Why veqlarghlI' ?
by mayqel qunen'oS 22 Mar '19

22 Mar '19

We have the Ca'NoN sentence: {veqlarghlI' yIbuS 'ej veqlarghwI' vIbuS} I'm surprised by the use of -lI'/-wI', instead of -lIj/-wIj. Is veqlargh a being capable of language ? ~ changan qIj I find defiance of Ca'NoN disturbing

Okrand confirmed this interpretation to me (that the subject of this verb must be plural, and are engaged in sexual intercourse with each other) in July 2013 when we had a brief chat about the Stonewall campaign. I'd made a note of it at the time in {boQwI'}, but don't seem to have posted about it to the mailing list, so I'm doing it now. -- De'vID

(say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes..) But I *feel* many no's being loaded in torpedo tubes.. ~ changan qIj
