so it seems Klingons think even more strongly about them as being separate from the narrative itself charghwI': t’s a supportive add-on, not part of the main thing divided into chapters. Does that help? I still don't understand, and perhaps it's because I'm trying to find a greek/english word for {taymey}.
In English, we have the phrases /front matter/ and /back matter/ (or /end matter/) that refer to the sections that come before and after the main body of the text, respectively. Front matter may consist of an introduction, a foreword, a preface, a title page, a table of contents, and so on. Back matter may include an afterword, an index, a bibliography, a glossary, charts and tables, and so on. The front matter and the back matter together are all of the *taymeymey* of a book.
Could we assume that a {taymey} is something broader that just a chapter? That perhaps it could be many chapters taken as a whole, as long as these chapters collectively were about the same subject?
No. Size and scope are not what define a *taymey.* It is about whether it is the main body of the text or another piece in support of the main body.
But if that's the case, then perhaps a {taymey} could be a number of paragraphs within a chapter, provided that they dealt with a specific subject, a subject different than that of the rest of the paragraphs of that chapter.
No. Paragraphs in the main body of a text that are more specific than other paragraphs are still part of the main body, and so are not *taymeymey.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
