I didn't know that.

Do you know the book "The grammarians Desk"?
There's an interesting Article on {ghoS}...

{ghotpu'} of course.
Does {Sov} also have the double meaning of "know"?
In German, and in French, there are two words for "know": "wissen" &
"kennen"; "savoir" & "connaitre"

Well, there's a little kind of "pun" behind that. *French* Hol

In Germany there are thirteen years at school (like sophomore, junior,
senior.)
I am in twelveth grade. Because I failed in two of my classes (German and
Chemistry) I need to do my twelfth grade over again. Do'Ha'. So I won't
graduate in 1999 but in 2000.

I've been struggling with this {-nIS} very often.
I keep thinking it should be:
{vIta'} - I accomplish it
{vIta'qa'} - I accomplish it again
*vIta'qa'nIS* - I need to accomplish it again
blrp.
{-nIS} is 2, {-qa'} is 3. I'll write that on my bIrchoHwI'!

Isn't that the "science of history", or do I misunderstand something?

Since I am not english, I didn't know that word. Than I came up with
{leSmeH poH}

think of the Vulcans, I called it vulqan.

You see?
