I was saying that pronouns are not verbs. They use verb suffixes when they act in “to be” sentences as described in TKD 6.3. A single pronoun cannot form a “to be” sentence all by itself, so you can’t just throw a tlhIHchuq in somewhere and expect it to make any sense. Stop thinking of pronouns as verbs. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name From: David Holt Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2017 3:30 PM To: tlhingan-hol@kli.org Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] pronouns and {-chuq} jatlh Quvar:
For example if I say: {jIHmo' SupvIp vIghro'} because of me the cat is afraid to jump
It is wrong ?
No, because here, it's a noun suffix.
But you could also say, {SuvwI' jIHmo' SupvIp vIghro'} "Because I am a warrior the cat is afraid to jump." I'm certain that what SuStel meant was that when you are using a pronoun as the verb "to be" it cannot take noun suffixes since it is acting as a verb and not as a noun. Which is basically what my first response was also getting at. _______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol@lists.kli.org http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org
