Some time ago, at another thread I had written (latlh Dochmey} and {latlhmey Doch}, and asked "is any of the two preferable, or more correct than the other" ? Then SuStel replied: "that depends, do you want to say the other's things or the others' thing ?"
Now, lets forget for a moment that in order to say "additional things" I can just write {latlhmey}; would it be correct to assume that both (latlh Dochmey} and {latlhmey Doch}, apart from the above translations written by SuStel, can mean "additional things" as well ?
*latlh Dochmey */other (additional) things another's things others' things/ (because plural suffixes are optional) *latlhmey Doch */others' thing(s)/ I wouldn't use *latlhmey* *X* to mean /additional Xs. /Explicitly using the plural suffix seems to lock it into the "someone else" meaning, though I can't say exactly why. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
