I was just thinking . . . if -Daq and other such noun suffixes can appear at the end of stative verbs that follow the nouns, aren't they really clitics instead of "noun suffixes"?
Remember that {-Daq} et al. exhibit sine other surprising behaviors (at least to this English speaker). It appears on cardinal numbers, at least in >proper names:
nImbuS wejDaq 'ejDo' 'entepray' ngeHlu'pu' The starship Enterprise has been dispatched to Nimbus III [ST5] Qo'noS wa'Daq baHta' ['entepray'] Enterprise fired on Kronos One... [ST6] Also, "If a Type 5 noun suffix is used ? it follows the verb, which, when used to modify the noun in this way, can have no other suffix except the >rover {-qu'} emphatic. The Type 5 noun suffix follows {-qu'} ... {veng tInqu'Daq} ?in the very big city" [TKD p.50]. In other words, {-Daq} attaches >to the quality modifying a noun, not the noun itself. More examples: veng tInDaq in the big city [TKD] wa' Dol nIvDaq matay'DI' maQap We succeed together in a greater whole. [TKW] batlh maHeghbej 'ej yo' qIjDaq vavpu'ma' DImuv Then we die with honor and join our fathers in the Black Fleet... [Anthem] If it helps, think of {qep?a? wejDIch} as the proper, official name of the qep?a? - i.e. the Third [KLI] Conference ? a sort of inseparable phrase. -- Voragh
