De'vID:
{tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qachDaq vaS'a'vo' chegh} jIH: the {vaS'a'} is located at the location of the subject of {chegh}, and from there the subject does the returning. De'vID: But where is the {vaS'a'} relative to the Federation command centre on Earth? Consider the following: {[vaS'a']vo' [tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qach]Daq chegh} {[tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qachDaq vaS'a']vo' chegh}
I am afraid you lost me.. If I hadn't seen the last sentences you posted, (the ones which bear the [] marks), I would have to reply saying, that at both of your original sentences (the ones without the []), the {vaS'a'} is somewhere else in relation to the federation command centre on earth. I can't specify any other location for the {vaS'a'}, except that it is the location of the subject of {chegh}, the location from where the "returning" commences. Reading the sentences which contain the [] signs, I couldn't understand anything more. In fact I got confused, because at both of the sentences we have included in the [] signs, noun-noun constructions where the noun(s) preceding the final noun bear type-5 suffixes. qunnoq On Thu, Aug 10, 2017 at 3:07 PM, Alan Anderson <qunchuy@alcaco.net> wrote:

Qo'.
You seem to be suggesting that we parse {tera'Daq DIvI' ra'ghom qach} and {tera'Daq DIvI' raghom qachDaq vaS'a'} as noun phrases bearing a Type 5 suffix on the final noun. However, that treatment violates the prohibition of a Type 5 suffix on the first noun of such a phrase.
I will not consider them further.
