Re: [tlhIngan Hol] {'e' qa'} "instead of" with the {qa'} bearing suffixes

De'vID:

Maybe it should be {pu' DIlo'chugh, maQap; yan DIlo' 'e' qa'}.

I'm afraid I can't understand this. The way I read it is "If we use phasers we'll win, instead of using swords". Shouldn't there be a {-chugh} on the {yan DIlo'} too? SuStel:

Maybe this can be simplified using the common shortcuts like so: pu' DIlo'chugh, maQap; yan qa'. If we use phasers, we will succeed. It replaces swords. I don't know whether this works in the more formal style, however.

I can't understand this either. Could you please explain the reasons which make you have doubts as to whether this could work in the formal style? -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
