latlh? And the others? [i.e. "The rest?"] (ST5)
This is a good example of a question mark next to a noun, (something which had been discussed here some time ago).
beyHom bey bey'a' jachtaH latlh tlhInganpu'. (S31)
Is this an example of nouns in apposition ? Because if it is, according to what had been discussed here some time ago, then {beyHom} {bey} {bey'a'} should all be the same (one with the other). But obviously they aren't. voragh:
Why is the number one important? Since the default meaning of latlh is additional one, other one, another one, it seems to me that one can be safely be omitted.
The problem is, that in contrast to what is happening with the {Hoch}, where {Hoch jaj} necessarily means "each day", there is no similar rule with regards to the {latlh}. So, if we had {latlh jaj vISIQlaH}, then someone could understand this to be either "one more day he is able to endure", or "additional days he is able to endure". mayqel qun'noS On Mon, Oct 9, 2017 at 11:00 PM, nIqolay Q <niqolay0@gmail.com> wrote:

I feel like loS latlh jaj or latlh loS jaj are both fine options, I don't really feel like there's a significant distinction in meaning. Until Okrand gives some direction that Klingons tend to prefer one phrasing over another, or that one phrasing is out-and-out wrong, I think it's fine to just leave it up to personal choice for now. Are there many instances of a number used with one member of a N-N construction that could help here?
