Your original subject line is “Sentence as object using ‘oH.” Your original sentence, without ‘e’, is not correct. In the A pro B’e’ construction, A and B are nouns or noun phrases, not sentences. The proposed version with ‘e’ might be technically correct, but I have a hard time believing Klingons use verb-acting pronouns in sentence-as-object constructions. The final verb in an SAO should generally be something simple and unexceptional. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name From: mayqel qunenoS Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2017 9:27 AM To: tlhingan-hol@kli.org Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Sentence as object using {'oH} SuStel:
Why are you twisting in knots trying to use a sentence as object with a pronoun?
I'm not trying to use a sentence as object with a pronoun. I'm trying however to understand what is right and what is wrong. The initial sentence of the thread, the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'oH vIt'e'}, was written by me, and I posted here because I was wondering (and still am), with regards to whether it is a valid/correct sentence. The second sentence, the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'e' 'oH vIt'e'}, was written by Antony Appleyard and I asked because I was wondering (and still am), whether it is correct. I'm not trying to create new rules, or extract new rules from the existing ones, but if I don't ask then I will never learn. qunnoq On Aug 22, 2017 3:54 PM, "SuStel" <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote: Why are you twisting in knots trying to use a sentence as object with a pronoun? chabHommeylIj Sopbejta' vIghro'wIj -- SuStel http://trimboli.name From: mayqel qunenoS Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2017 8:00 AM To: tlhingan-hol@kli.org Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Sentence as object using {'oH} De'vID:
What is the object of {'oH}? I think it is the sentence which precedes it. I think it is the {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj}. Antony Appleyard: {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'e' 'oH vIt'e'} Is {chabHommeylIj Sopta' vIghro'wIj 'e' 'oH vIt'e'} correct ? qunnoq
