<ghe'> is “be transformed, transmuted, metamorphosed, totally altered” <ghe'moH> is “cause to be transformed, etc.” tlhIngan Hol has no tense, so <maS Daghe'moH'a'> could mean any of the following: Are you terraforming the moon? Did you terraform the moon? Will you terraform the moon? The addition of a type-7 suffix can add additional clarity, though it is not required. For example: <maS Daghe'moHlI''a'?> - Are you, in the time context of the sentence, in the process of terraforming the moon? <maS Daghe'moHta''a'?> - Have you, in the time context of the sentence, intentionally completed the act of terraforming the moon? pagh From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> On Behalf Of mayqel qunen'oS Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2019 11:11 AM To: tlhIngan Hol mailing list <tlhingan-hol@kli.org> Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Not just cool. Sub-zero rura-pente cool. ok, hold on a minute.. Initially, I almost fell into the trap of writing {jIghe'choHpu'} for "I have been transformed". But then, I remembered that {ghe'} is given as "be transformed, transmuted, metamorphosed, totally altered". So, I wrote {jIghe'choH} which means "I became transformed", and everything was right as rain (as americans say), or "everything was milk-honey" (as greeks say).. But.. I just read the Ca'Non sentence {maS Daghe'moH'a' ?} which was given as "are you terraforming the moon ?". Why isn't this sentence given as "have you terraformed the moon ?" ? ~ cbcbcb
