The combination of {-moH} and {-laH}
If I write {qaHaghmoH}, then this means "I cause you to laugh". If I write {qaHaghmoHlaH}, then it means "I'm able to cause you to laugh". But could it mean too "I cause you to be able to laugh" ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS

Yes, either is possible. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
So, I suppose if I wrote {qaHaghqangmoH}, then this could mean both "I'm willing to cause you to laugh", and "I'll cause you to be willing to laugh", right ? ~ mayqel

Yes. Naturally, you'll need context to disambiguate these. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Do you just sit around all day dreaming up ambiguous Klingon sentences so you can ask us to clarify them? -- De'vID

HaHaHa ! qaStaHvIS 'op jaj, jaSHa' jIvang.. hahaha ! somedays I'm doing that.. 'ach, DaHjaj SuStelvaD jIjangtaHvIS, {-moH} {-laH} je ghu'vam qay' vIbamchoH, ngaSbogh tlhIngan mu'tlhegh'e' vIghItlhtaHvIS. but today, while I was replying for SuStel, I encountered the {-moH} and {-laH} problem, while I was writing a klingon sentence, which contained them. ~ mayqel qunen'oS
