Ignoring the talk about Star Trek episodes (we all know how closely they
follow TKD), this is the first good evidence pointing towards epithets being
used as nouns: the fact that nouns may be used as epithets.
The case is still far from won, however, since this could easily be a
one-way street. Can we put noun suffixes on {chuvmey} exclamation epithets?
Can we put these in sentences?
