Revelation 18 revelation wa'maH chorgh 1. And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. 1. qaSpu'DI' wanI'meyvam, chalvo' ghIr latlh *angel*; 'e' vIlegh. HoS'a' ghaj *angel*vam, 'ej tera' Hoch bochmoH ngay'Daj. 2. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 2. 'ej jatlhchoH; jatlhtaHvIS wab'a' lIng ghoghDaj, 'ej jatlh: lupu'; lupu' *babylon* Dunqu'..

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 3. quvHa'ghach'a'Daj QeH'a' HIq lutlhutlhta'mo' Hoch Sepmey, 'ej tIv'eghmeH ta'pu', nga'chuqta'mo' *babylon* chaH je.

Speculation: ship in which I fled
by SuStel 01 May '18

01 May '18

A conversation on DuoLingo got me thinking. Okrand said long ago that he could not get the head noun of a relative clause to fit anywhere except as the subject or object of that clause. We accept this as meaning Klingon doesn't allow this, though all Okrand really said was he couldn't see how to do it. Consider the text of /The Klingon Dictionary:/ "The whole construction (relative clause plus head noun), as a unit, is used in the sentence as a noun." I don't know about you, but this is not the mental image of relative clauses I have in my head. I imagine the main clause as a line, the head noun "pinned" to its place on that line, and the relative clause dangling off of the pinned head noun. But the text of TKD may suggest a different picture: the head noun plus verbal clause may be an enclosed package, no dangling, and whatever is part of the relative clause is isolated from interaction with the main clause. The main sentence, in other words, doesn't care what part the relative clause is the head noun; all it cares about is that something called "relative clause" is acting as a noun in a particular spot. For example, if *Duj vIleghpu'bogh* /ship which I saw/ is said to be equal to /X,/ then we can insert it into a main clause *vIngu'laH*/I can identify it/ like so: /*X*/*vIngu'laH* /I can identify X./ As far as the main clause is concerned, /X/ is a black box, internally any noun phrase it wants to be. So, let's suppose we start with a phrase, *DujDaq jIHaw'*/I flee on a ship./ Let's us further suppose... and bear with me here... that we don't have to make the head noun the subject or object of the relative clause. What if we can say *DujDaq jIHaw'bogh*/ship on which I flee./ Being the only noun in the clause, it's the only candidate for head noun. Let's suppose that it is. Just suppose. Now just take the noun phrase as a black box and stick it into the main sentence, *vIngu'laH*/I can identify it./**We get: *DujDaq jIHaw'bogh vIngu'laH* /I can identify the ship in which I fled. /As far as the main sentence goes, this is not a locative, just a regular noun phrase. // Yes, yes, I realize that the listener has no idea that *DujDaq jIHaw'bogh* is supposed to be a unit and that I'm not actually identifying something while I'm on a ship. I remember that Okrand didn't agree to this in his interview. All I'm saying is, it doesn't /actually/ contradict TKD, and Okrand didn't /actually/ say you can't do it. The phrasing used in TKD makes such a construction not completely impossible. There's one major problem with this idea: if you need to use main-sentence syntactic suffixes on the relative clause, you have to attach them to the head noun, which means the main sentence /does/ see the inner parts of the relative clause, so it's not really a black box after all. Note: I'm not advocating for this idea here. I'm just publicly speculating. The Ship In Which I Fled Problem is one of those things that I constantly run up against and would like to pound into the ground. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

'e', net, -Daq speculation
by demonchaux.aurelie 30 Apr '18

30 Apr '18

Savan, tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI'pu'! I have been wondering for a couple of days now whether the sentence pronouns {'e'} and {net} might take the noun suffix {-Daq} to refer to the location where the previous sentence took place. From the TKD, as far as I can tell nothing explicitly prohibits adding any suffix to these pronouns - only their usage in sentence-as-object constructions is described, but if you consider that the TKD only gives a grammatical outline of Klingon, well then maybe other kinds of usage also exist. Imagine if we could write: (?) {paq laD HoD, 'e'Daq jIba'} = I sit where the captain read the book (?) {Hegh Subvam netDaq jaHQo'} = the place where this hero died is avoided like the plague What do you think? Does it seem to make sense to you the same way it does for me? ghItlhjaj Envoyé depuis mon smartphone Samsung Galaxy.
