To say "superior priests" use the adjective {nIv} "be superior". nIqolay Q: mayqel: If you're trying to express the notion of "superior", there's the verb nIv "be superior". Qelpu' nIv "superior doctors", maqleghpu' nIv "superior priests"
I've thought about using the verb {nIv}, but there's the problem of the following Ca'Non sentence: {Dujeychugh jagh nIv yItuHQo'} there is nothing shameful in falling before a superior enemy The way I understand the "superior" in this example, it isn't "greater rank", but rather "greater skill/more powerful/better". But my goal isn't to translate the concept of "superior" as in "greater skill"; my problem is how to translate "superior" as in "of higher rank". ~ mayqel qunen'oS
