also, how would you translate the {wa'maH yIHmey lI'be'} ? "ten not useful tribbles" or {ten useless tribbles} ? I'm inclined to translate it as "ten not useful tribbles", leaving the {wa'maH yIHmey lI'Ha'} to mean the {ten useless tribbles}. qunnoH jan puqloD On Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 6:04 PM, mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun@gmail.com> wrote:
maj. time for the next question:
if instead of the: {Daq HopHa’Daq qa’chaj nejlI’ qotar Qempa’QeH je} we had the: {Daq Hopbe’Daq qa’chaj nejlI’ qotar Qempa’QeH je}
would there be any difference in meaning ? to me the {Daq Hopbe’} sounds like "a not far location", while the {Daq HopHa'} sounds like "a misfar location" (whatever the ghe''or this may mean..)

Maybe for the same reason the English didn't use nearby?
hmm.. is there a rule that in be-verbs used as adjectives someone can place the {-Ha'}, or is this sentence from paq'batlh an exception ?
and remind me of something.. in verbs used as adjectives, we can have the {-qu'}, right ? but can we have the {-be'} ? In the above sentence could there be {Daq Hopbe’Daq qa’chaj nejlI’ qotar Qempa’QeH je} ?
We've seen three of the four rovers used as suffixes on adjectival verbs. -qu' appears in The Klingon Dictionary (section 4.4) and is explicitly allowed. -be' first appears in Conversational Klingon in the section on counting as wa'maH yIHmey lI'be'. -Ha' first appears in Klingon for the Galactic Traveler as Duj ngaDHa' in the section on slang. Each type has been used more than once.
Clearly, -qu', -be', and -Ha' are all allowed on adjectival verbs. I don't think we've ever seen any other suffixes on such verbs.
