non-ovs elements before the second {-bogh} of a {-bogh}'ed noun
by D qunen'oS 11 May '22

11 May '22

I don't think this could be wrong, but I'll ask anyway to make certain. We have the Ca'Non: romuluSngan Sambogh 'ej Hoghbogh nejwI' If I remember correctly, charghwI' once wrote that it isn't "a probe which locates and kills Romulans", but rather "a probe of the Romulans which hunts and kills". But let's assume that the meaning is "a probe which locates and kills Romulans". Suppose I write: romuluSngan Sambogh 'ej rut Hoghbogh nejwI' probe which locates and occasionally kills romulans Would it be correct? Could we place a non-ovs element before the second {-bogh} of a {-bogh}'ed noun? (Which in this case is an adverb, but could also be a time stamp, and/or a locative). -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ

question words in noun-noun constructions
by D qunen'oS 10 May '22

10 May '22

Could we use question words in noun-noun constructions as in the following examples? Qob nuH nuq je the weapon and what is dangerous? SuSol tlhIH 'Iv je you quarrel you and who? maHIv maH 'Iv je we attack we and who? I can't see something grammatically wrong with the above, but the thing which leads me to ask is that I can't find a "fluid" English translation for these examples, so this makes me wonder whether there's something I'm missing here. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ

aspect with imperatives
by D qunen'oS 06 May '22

06 May '22

Suppose I write: chopumchoHpa', ngoD tIpojchu'pu' before you begin to accuse me, have examined the facts Would it be correct? Meaning that you need to have already examined the facts, before you start throwing accusations. Of course, I could just write {chopumchoHpa', ngoDmey bopojnISchu'pu'}, but the thing I'm wondering is whether it would be right/acceptable to use aspect with imperatives. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
