If someone asked me to describe my understanding of the english "et cetera/etc", I'd write the following two sentences: "I like cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, etc" "Whenever I walk, run, travel, do my homework, etc, I listen to music" In the first sentence, the "et cetera" is used in reference to nouns, while on the second in reference to verbs. However, here: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/etc, I read: ---------- etc. abbreviation and others; and so forth; and so on (used to indicate that more of the same sort or class might have been mentioned, but for brevity have been omitted): You can leave your coats, umbrellas, etc., at the door. ---------- So, I don't know whether my understanding of the english "etc" was correct, since I believed that it *could* be used too, in reference to verbs, while here seemingly/apparently it says that it is used after a string/sequence of nouns. But the real matter is what's the case with the klingon {latlh je}; is it to be used only with reference to nouns, or can it be used in reference to verbs too? If I write the following then it's obviously correct: tlhInganpu', romuluSnganpu', vulqanganpu', latlh je vIpar. I dislike klingons, romulans, vulcans, etc. But can I write the following too? jIqettaHvIS, jIvumtaHvIS, jISeDtaHvIS, jIHaDtaHvIS, latlh je, jIDoy'choH. While I run, work, drive, study, etc, I become tired. I know that the klingon {latlh je} is essentially "and others", since the {latlh} is a noun (so one would expect it to being used only in reference to nouns..), but I'm wondering whether the {latlh je} can be considered a "set phrase" something like the {tu'lu'} which we never write as {lutu'lu'}. ~ Dana'an
