Oh no, Krankor does things for reasons (including the grammatical error in
taHjaj wo' [not the -ghach's on bare verbs; that wasn't known at at the
time]. There is an actual ungrammatical sentence in it, and he put it
there on purpose.) The tlheghmey are not stanzas or verses; it's not sung
verse by verse. They are three *simultaneous* lines of melody that act as
counterpoint to one another. It sort of has to be heard to be believed. I
hope to put a MIDI file of taHjaj wo' (and PostScript sheet music) on the
FTP site soon; I have the MIDI already. So he chose to call them "lines",
not sections or parts.
