Okay; If so, that animal would probably still have the size of somekind of animal (dog, cat size, whatever). A {targh nu'} otoh would have the size of an ant.
A {DujHom} isn't just a small ship, it's a different kind of ship.
True. But you would never fly in a {Duj nu'}.
I'd thing so. From Okrand's description of {nu'} is just refers to something that is very small and is simply a synonym for {machqu'}.
No, it sure is lots smaller than just {machqu'}. But I will forward these questions.
Is that "toy targ" as in a plastic one a kid plays with? For that I'd use {targh velqa'}, with {targh velqa' nu'} for some kind of miniature targ that might be used in a table top game.
Yes, true. All of those meanings seem to overlap. Since {velqa'} means replica, theoretically it can refer to the 1:1 replica. A {velqa' mach} is a small replica, and a {velqa' nu'} is a miniature replica. -- Lieven L.
