The indefinite subject has no number. It is indefinite. The sentence 'Impey' qach lumutlhlu'pu' does not point to anyone who built the pyramids; it specifically avoids doing so. --------- Original Message --------- Subject: [tlhIngan Hol] number of the subject implied by the {-lu'} From: "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun@gmail.com> Date: 7/14/20 5:19 am To: "tlhIngan Hol mailing list" <tlhingan-hol@kli.org> The suffix {-lu'} is defined as "someone or something unspecified". In english the words "someone" and "something" are singular. Or at least I think they are.. So, does this mean that whenever we use the {-lu'} it actually means that the unspecified subject is singular too ? Example: 'Impey' qach lumutlhlu'pu' Does this mean "someone (singular) constructed the pyramids" e.g. a pharaoh ? Or can it mean too "someone(s) (plural) constructed the pyramids" e.g. the egyptians ? ~ Qa'yIn _______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol@lists.kli.org http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org
