ghunchu'wI:
SuStel has already given exactly the reasonable arguments I would use. I don't know how to improve on them.
maj. there you go ! I am an idiot, who is unable to understand the obvious. however, this is truly strange; through the 14 months I have been on this list, we have discussed countless things; and always we came to a conclusion. Unfortunately, at this thread, on this occasion, what has been said so far fails to explain why the {Soch DIS vorgh jIQuch} is ungrammatical. The only reasonable explanation is, if someone wrote "because maltz said so". Instead, there is no "maltz said so", but a countless list of arguments which leads to nowhere. Thank you for taking the time to explain all this, but since I can't understand what's going on here, I will continue using expressions like {Soch DIS vorgh} without the {qaStaHvIS}. Perhaps they make sense only to me, but hey, who is actually reading the klingon posts I write ? So, lets agree to disagree on this one. qunnoH jan puqloD you have some stuffed to'baj leg in your teeth On Wed, Dec 28, 2016 at 10:21 PM, SuStel <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote:

It's telling me WHEN something happened, not HOW LONG something took.
Or to put it another way: a time expression is just a phrase of some kind. Whether it's a time stamp or a time span or both or neither is all in how you use it; it's not inherent to the expression. There's no list of acceptable time stamps and acceptable time spans.
