HolQeD 13.1 (p.9-10) :
ro'qegh'Iwchab 'ey law' qagh 'ey law' the rokeg blood pie is as delicious as the gagh tlhIngan HoS law' 'Iw HoS law' the Klingon is as strong as blood
I can understand these examples since they employ on both "slots" the {law'} HolQeD 13.1 (p.9-10):
tlhIngan woch law' tera'ngan woch nIb the Klingon is as tall as the Terran SuvwI' ghung law' qagh ghung rap the warrior is as hungry as gagh
I can't understand why on these examples, at the second "slot" we don't have the {law'}, but we have {nIb}, and {rap} respectively. Is this just another alternate way of expressing the desired meaning, or is there an actual reason because of which we don't have the {law'} on the second "slot" ? qunnoH jan puqloD On Tue, Nov 8, 2016 at 5:52 PM, Steven Boozer <sboozer@uchicago.edu> wrote:
It’s also a nice alternative to those variant comparison formulae we saw in HolQeD 13.1 (p.9-10) :
ro'qegh'Iwchab 'ey law' qagh 'ey law'
the rokeg blood pie is as delicious as the gagh
tlhIngan HoS law' 'Iw HoS law'
the Klingon is as strong as blood
tlhIngan woch law' tera'ngan woch nIb
the Klingon is as tall as the Terran
SuvwI' ghung law' qagh ghung rap
the warrior is as hungry as gagh

the *racht* is as heavy as the *rokeg* blood pie (HQ 13.1:8)
This is a nice example of quality comparison:
Q N1, nIb N2 N1 is as Q as N2.
