That’s right. AFAIK there are only four polysyllabic verbs known: {ghIpDIj} court martial, {He'So’} stink, {HoSghaj} be powerful, {nughI'} twist knuckle into someone's head. Hmm… perhaps “bisyllabic verbs” would be better. Did any more appear in the last two or three qep’a’mey and qepHommey? -- Voragh ________________________________________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> On Behalf Of SuStel On 9/22/2021 12:19 PM, luis.chaparro@web.de<mailto:luis.chaparro@web.de> wrote: And were all verbs at the beginning monosyllabic?
