So we can finally finish the math example from the HolQeD article with *javlogh boqHa''egh wej; chen jav loch wej*. (I'm assuming that fractions work as a unique type of noun phrase in sentences even though they're constructed as complete sentences. Otherwise they would be quite difficult to actually use.)
I wouldn't assume that. You might have to say *javlogh boqHa''egh wej; chen jav lochbogh wej.* Which is about as informative as "three divided by six is three-sixths." Anyway, a more sensible speaker would reduce the fraction: *javlogh boqHa''egh wej; chen cha' lochbogh wa'.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
