This comes from a message from MO about pronunciation which was forwarded by De'vID to this list on Januar 16, 2019 http://lists.kli.org/htdig.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2019-January/030039.html --- begin quote (part of full message) --- A singular interpretation of {QIch wab Ho'DoS} is possible if the intent is to say that someone's pronunciation exhibited different varieties — different accents: {QIch wab Ho'DoS Sar vIQoy} "I hear a varied pronunciation, a pronunciation with different or inconsistent features." But this is unusual, something only somebody like Henry Higgins would say, and would probably be made clear by context. And if it wasn’t clear, Professor Higgins would probably use a different verb altogether: {ngang} "vary, be varying." This verb is used to express that something is varying or deviating from the norm or is varying or fluctuating so much that there isn’t a norm. (If the readouts on certain instruments on a ship did this, that would probably be bad news.) --- end quote --- -- Lieven L.
