To be honest, when I read {puq neH ghaH} I saw, “He wants a child.”
wa’ puq ghaj qaytu’pu’. [Does this really need {neH}?]
latlh puq Hutlh qaytu’pu’.
qongmeS Hutlh.
As for the “only engine”, I’ll let the canon experts reply before I say yet another wrong thing. If the canon actually is {matHa’, DoS jonta’ neH}, it’s already weird, since there’s no verb, unless the real translation is a clipped “I want the engine of the target."
pItlh
charghwI’ ‘utlh
(ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)
puq neH ghaH
he is only a child
But why can't it mean too "he is the only child", as in "the only child of two parents"?
Similarly, we have the {jonta' neH} for "only the engine". But why can't it mean too "the only engine"?
