by mayqel qunen'oS 12 Jul '19

The verb {qeq} is given as "practice, train, prepare". If I say {moQbara' vIqeq}, then what does it mean ? "I practice mok'bara" as in "I practice karate" (that is "I know how it's done") ? "I practice mok'bara" as in "I'm training so that I'll become better" ? "I train mok'bara" as in "I grabbed the mok'bara and I caused it to train" ?

yong and yongHa'
by mayqel qunen'oS 11 Jul '19

11 Jul '19

We have the verb {yong} meaning "get in". I can say {juH vIyong} without *having* to write {juHDaq vIyong}, since that would be redundant. It wouldn't be wrong. Just redundant. Suppose now, I want to say "I get out of the house", and suppose that I want to use {yongHa'}. Do I write {juH vIyongHa'} or {juHvo' jIyongHa'} ? I tend toward the {juHvo' jIyongHa'}, since {juH vIyongHa'} sounds like "I get out the house". But since I'm not sure, if someone could clarify this, it would be great. ~ gkkhkh
