Re: [tlhIngan Hol] negating adverbials

De'nIl:

{reH qaSbe'}

Intended meaning - “it didn’t always 

happen”

This is a tough one. The only thing that comes to mind is: {motlh qaS; rut qaSbe' 'a qub wanI'vam} "usually it happened; occasionally it didn't happen, but this occurence was rare" De'nIl:

{tlhoy nI'be' HaSta tavam 'e' vItul}

Intended meaning - “I hope this visual

record isn’t too long”

Perhaps I would write: {nI'qu'be' HaSta tavam; 'e' vItul} or {poH nI'qu' HaSta ta 'oHbe'; 'e' vItul} "it isn't a visual record of too much time, that I hope" or {poH nI'qu' poQbe' HaSta tavam; 'e' vItul} "this visual record doesn't require too much time, that I hope" ~ channgan qIj
