This is also the only thing I am grasping there. It would not make sense to me. It sounds either like a mere list, or like a NNN construction meaning "I measure the lesser speed of the speed of the greater speed of the ship." Neither of which makes sense. Maybe that ship has only 3 speed modes, slow pace, middle pace, and full speed, and I could measure what they are (e.g. half impulse, full impulse, and warp 1).
Interpreting something like "deceleration" into seems like a big stretch. Like linguistic fan fiction.
If Okrand WERE to say "yes, you can generalize what I did with *beyHom bey bey'a',*" would you understand it? -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
