Thanks for sharing the lists!
nelchu' v. fit in perfectly, fit perfectly – like a piece in a jigsaw puzzle (based on the verb nel match, pair up, map onto)
Do we know how {nel} is used in a sentence? Some of the glosses ("map onto") seem to favor to structure {B nel A.} ("A matches B."), while others (such as "pair up") seem to favor {nel A B je.} ("A and B match."). There is also the possibility that it could be like {ghom}, where both syntaxes work; perhaps it depends on whether or not the components are equally important (i.e. "these two pieces go together") as opposed to one piece fitting into a larger whole (i.e. "this one piece fits in with the 367 pieces we've already laid out"). //loghaD ________________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> on behalf of Lieven L.
