using {-lu'} in conjunction with {-ghach}
by mayqel qunen'oS 16 Jan '20

16 Jan '20

The way I understand {-ghach}, it works as follows: {mughchu'ghach} perfect translation {mughqangghach} willingness to translate {mughvIpghach} the condition of fearing to translate {Hurghchu'ghach} perfect darkness {tujtaHghach} the condition of being continuously hot The way I understand it, adding {-ghach} to a transitive verb, expresses an action (translation, discommendation, etc). And adding {-ghach} to an intransitive verb, expresses a condition (e.g. darkness, happiness, etc). And always, the suffix used influences the final meaning.. However, recently I saw somewhere online, someone having written the word {vanglu'ghach}, which I can't understand. What could {vanglu'ghach} mean ? Could it mean "an unspecified action" ? Does using the suffix {-lu'} in conjunction with {-ghach} produce a word, which actually makes sense ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS

the {-lu'wI'} combination

On the other hand, re-thinking the {-lu'wI'} matter, I started to wonder.. vIghro' legh vay' someone sees the cat vIghro' leghlu' someone unspecified sees the cat leghwI' someone who sees So, why couldn't the {leghlu'wI'} mean "someone unspecified who sees" ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS

can we place type-5 noun suffixes on the {'e'} of a sao ?
by mayqel qunen'oS 15 Jan '20

15 Jan '20

The words {jIH}, {SoH}, {ghaH}, etc, are pronouns, and they *can* take type-5 noun suffixes. For example, we can say: chaHmo', vIghro' tIQ wISampu' because of them we found the ancient cat Moving on.. The {'e'} of a sao, is a pronoun too. So, we *can* place on it too type-5 noun suffixes, thus producing constructions like: {verengan 'opuHwI' ghaH SoSlI''e'; not 'e'mo' Qang Damoj} Your mother is a ferengi prostitute; because of that you will never become a chancellor. Right ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS

using {Hoch} after a noun with an adjective
by mayqel qunen'oS 14 Jan '20

14 Jan '20

I've been wondering lately, with regards to using {Hoch} after a noun with an adjective, and more specifically its' position with regards to the adjective. Assume we want to say "all of the big pie". There are two options: {chab tIn Hoch} {chab Hoch tIn} Of the two, my preference would be the first one, since -the way I understand it- it goes like: "There is a big pie, and we consider all of it". While the second, feels like it means: "There is a pie, we consider all of it, and that all, is big". The only thing which troubles me, is whether it's permissible to actually place {Hoch} after an adjective. Would anyone like to share any thoughts on this matter ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS
