Can I say {vatlhmey jagh} for "hundreds of enemies" ?
I offer the usual answer of "we don't know." But in this case I'd guess not: not because you have to specify a number in front of *vatlh,* but because I think *vatlh* without a specific number would be treated as a noun, not a number, and couldn't count something. In other words, you might be able to say *muSuvpu' jaghpu'wI'; vatlhpu' tu'lu'*/My enemies fought me; there were hundreds/ or *Hoch DIS Hov leng 'angweD Such vatlhpu'*/Each year hundreds visit the Star Trek museum./ But this is just a guess on my part. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
