A similar example with another Type 5 suffix is: tlhIngan juHqo'Daq tlhIng yoSDaq 'oH toQDuj chenmoHlu'meH Daq wa'DIch'e' 1st Construction Site: The Kling District, Klingon Home World. (KBoP) Note it’s not the same thing as it’s not apposition but specificity or precision – is there a better grammatical/linguistic term? -- like a mailing address: Apartment 4B, 1234 Blackstone Street, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. (In some countries the order of elements on an envelope is reversed.) Another example of repeating the suffix (also not apposition) is: poSDaq nIHDaq je QamtaHvIS SuvwI'pu', chaH jojDaq yItnIS lopwI' The initiate must pass through a gauntlet of warriors. (S9) (“while warriors stand on the left [side] and on the right [side], the celebrant must walk [in the area] between them”) Yet another example is: tIngvo' 'evDaq chanDaq all around, all over (the place) (st.k 11/21/1999) (“from area-southwestward to area-northwestward to area eastward) Again this is not apposition, but sequence: from A to B to C. Can anyone think of other examples where the same suffix appears on both elements of an appositional phrase? -- Voragh Ca'Non Master of the Klingons From: SuStel On 4/4/2019 9:08 AM, mayqel qunen'oS wrote: Skybox 1 has (among other sentences) the following phrase: {juHqo' Qo'noSvo' loghDaq lengtaHvIS tlhInganpu'} with the translation "..expansion of the klingon people from their homeworld of kronos into space.." Shouldn't the "from their homeworld of kronos" be given as {Qo'noS juHqo'vo'} instead of {juHqo' Qo'noSvo'} ? Not really. juHqo' Qo'noSvo' is just an example of apposition. From Kronos, the homeworld. What's interesting about this to me is that a -vo' isn't added to both words. If I were writing this sentence I would have said juHqo'vo' Qo'noSvo'. You can imagine a comma between the two words. Lacking a -vo' on juHqo', and the way type 5 suffixes migrate to the ends of verbs, suggest to me that type 5 noun suffixes act more like clitics than simple noun inflections.
