Re: [tlhIngan Hol] finer shades of perfective aspect

ghItlh mayqel qunen'oS:

And being on the subject, I find it irritating (to put it mildly), that while we *do* have words for the "brother's sister's daughter's son in law, of the illegitimate brother of the second alien, who happened to orbit kronos on the day three dogs were in heat", but we can't differentiate between a tendon and a ligament, since we have the same word for both of them..

I find that most lay people don't know the difference anyway. I'm satisfied calling them Hom to'waQ and Somraw to'waQ even though they both attach to a bone at at least one end. Heck, I would even accept to'waQ for fascia, but I haven't settled definitively on a term - maybe qatbogh to'waQ? Jeremy
