Do type-5 suffixes follow the rank ?
Read: ghawranmo' Qang, omelette De'mey DIghojpu'. We learned the omelette recipe, because of gowron, the chancellor. Now read this: ghawran Qangmo', omelette De'mey DIghojpu'. We learned the omelette recipe, because of the gowron chancellor. Which is the correct one ? I'm leaning toward the latter, but I'd like to make certain, that the title/rank *does* indeed behave as a "normal" second noun, in a noun-noun construction. ~ gjgjgk

*ghawran Qang* is a noun phrase, though it is not a noun-noun construction. The syntactic suffix encompasses the entire noun phrase to which it is attached. Therefore the correct form is *ghawran Qangmo'.* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
