De'vID:
yapbe''a' {tInba'bogh Duj}?
In order to get the intented meaning through, it is definitely sufficient. the reason which made me ask about the {Duj tInba'}, was because I was searching for an alternate way to describe this meaning in klingon. However, yes, the {tInba'bogh Duj} is perfectly capable of expressing the same meaning too. qunnoH jan puqloD On Tue, Dec 13, 2016 at 5:05 PM, Steven Boozer <sboozer@uchicago.edu> wrote:
I think SuStel is right, although I could find only one example:
'ejyo' luch rurbe'qu' tlhIngan Duj luch.
Klingon starship design is vastly different from

Somewhere (TKD I suppose) it's written that the only suffixes following a verb used as an adjective can be the negation suffixes {-be', -Ha'} and the intensifier {-qu'}. I think it's logical that both can occur together. So I have no doubts that you can say {Duj tInqu'be'} with the intended meaning.
But other suffixes are excluded, do the answer to question 2 is no. It is easily understood, but ungrammatical.
TKD only describes using -qu' in this way. Further canonical examples have shown us -be' and -Ha'. None has ever shown us multiple suffixes, though I would have no problem accepting Duj tInqu'be' for not very big ship.
Although we have never seen any other verb suffixes, I would not at all be surprised to discover that type 6 verb suffixes are allowed, as in mayqel's *Duj tInba' obviously big ship or *Duj Dojbej certainly impressive ship or *Duj HoSghajchu' all-powerful ship or *Duj pujlaw' apparently weak ship. But until such time as Okrand does this, these suffixes are off-limits.
