… poD vay' …DaqvamDaq yIghoS (commanding multiple people)
Meanwhile, DaqvamDaq peghoS would mean that while you are in this place, you should go somewhere.
Thanks. That matched my understanding.
I’ve seen “locative” used for {-Daq} before but until your recent message I don’t think I’ve seen “ablative” for {-vo'}. Is this a common convention, or just something that you use personally? Could {-vaD} be described as “dative”, using this same alien grammatical terminology? Maybe causal for {-mo'}?
Most people don't say ablative, but it fits, is convenient, and corresponds to locative. -vaD isn't dative because it's also benefactive. You could use dative or benefactive when describing a sentence that clearly has one or the other of these senses, but they're not separate noun cases in Klingon. Unless there is a noun case out there that combines these two, dative/benefactive is the best you're going to get. Causal works for -mo', but I prefer causative, simply because it fits in with the others.
These are just words to describe Klingon, not inherent properties of the language.-- SuStel http://trimboli.name
