Once again your noun-scoping defies my senses. I would say this Hoch vIghro' mutmey all species of cat. I too, like much more the solution of {Hoch vIghro' mutmey}, which you suggest.
And in the past, I've though of placing the {Hoch} in the first position of a N-N-N construction, but here is another thing that confuses me.
At the {Hoch vIghro' mutmey}, doesn't the {Hoch}*have* to act*only* on the {vIghro'} ? Doesn't the meaning*have* to be "the species of each cat" ?
No. In the rules of Klingon, almost any time you see the word /noun/,//you can read it as /noun phrase./ *vIghro' mutmey* is a noun phrase. So in the noun-noun construction *Hoch vIghro' mutmey,* the first noun is *Hoch,* and the second "noun" is *vIghro' mutmey,* a noun phrase. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
