I was thinking.. If we can use asteriscs, in order to emphasize a whole word in a klingon passage, then perhaps it would be possible, to use asteriscs to emphasize a particular prefix/suffix. Examples: vIghro' tIQ Daghaj*chugh* *if* you had an ancient cat vIghro' tIQ Daghaj*laH*chugh if you were *able* to have an ancient cat vIghro' tIQ *Da*ghajlaHchugh if *you* were able to have an ancient cat (with the emphasis focusing on the you-it meaning) vIghro'*na'* tIQ vInej I search the ancient *definite* cat vIghro'na'*wIj* tIQ vInej I search *my* ancient definite cat Now.. I know, that for the purpose of emphasis, we could use the {-qu'} for verbs, and the {-'e'} for nouns. But as has been often said, the {-qu'} could be interpreted as to be emphasizing the entire preceding word with everything attached to it, and not *just* what immediately precedes it. And of course, the {-'e'} by definition, doesn't focus only on what immediately precedes it. So, perhaps, the asteriscs *could* be the way to go.. ~ mayqel qunen'oS
