SuStel: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.
