I think DIgh may have been the word I was wanting, but it didn't come up in my search. I've been really slow at learning new words. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 7/17/18, Ed Bailey <bellerophon.modeler@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] "rookie" vs "veteran" To: "tlhingan-hol@kli.org" <tlhingan-hol@kli.org> Date: Tuesday, July 17, 2018, 1:25 PM Maybe instead of using {bam}, use the related word {DIgh}, perhaps {DIghpu'wI'} "one who has dealt with (something)." I'd also be inclined to pair {chu'chu'wI'} (one who is clearly/perfectly new) for a newbie with {ta'ta'wI'} (one who has deliberately accomplished) for an old pro, and that covers about the same territory as rookie/veteran. ~mIp'av On Monday, July 16, 2018, Steven Boozer <sboozer@uchicago.edu> wrote:

I'm not sure I see it.  If anything, these sound like something a Beginner's Grammarian would call themselves in jest.

How about bampu'wI'? or:

bamta'wI'

bamchu'wI' or what fine-tuning is appropriate.

 I am trying to find a pair of relatively simple words that I can use to label  people as the equivalent of rookies (it's their first  time experiencing something) or veterans (they've been  through it before).

 I  like {chu'wI'} "newcomer", but I can't decide what to use as its counterpart. Have any of  you ever needed this kind of distinction, and if so, did you  come up with anything satisfactory?
