verb prefix on XvaD Y ponglu' construction when Y is plural
by D qunen'oS 07 Jul '22

07 Jul '22

Sometime ago, I wanted to say "they called the festival the panatheneans". So, initially I wrote {yupma'vaD panatheneans ponglu'}. But immediately I realized that the word "panatheneans" is plural; I can't translate it exactly in English, but it's like saying "the all Athenses". And by saying "Athenses" I mean the plural of the word "Athens". As if there are many cities, each by the name of Athens, and we're meaning all of them. (Perhaps, a similar example would be "they called the festival 'all solstices'"). Anyway, back to the original question.. Since the word "panatheneans" is plural, what should I write? yupma'vaD panatheneans ponglu' yupma'vaD panatheneans luponglu' Which of the two would be the correct choice? -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ

puq neH ghaH he is only a child But why can't it mean too "he is the only child", as in "the only child of two parents"? Similarly, we have the {jonta' neH} for "only the engine".

prefix trick formal or informal
by D qunen'oS 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Does it make sense to wonder whether the prefix trick is to be used in less formal occasions, than the "full form" of the sentence? For example, in a religious ceremony comes a point where one needs to say to the other "and now I give you the knife". There are two options: taj qanob SoHvaD taj vInob Is the prefix trick version less formal than the other? -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
