At section 6.6 in the Klingon Dictionary, Comparatives and superlatives,
there is the example...
la' jaq law' Hoch jaq puS
The commander is boldest of all
My idea was to add the suffix -qu' to the first instance of the verb "jaq"
for the expression of...
The commander is the 'most' boldest of all.
la' jaqqu' law' Hoch jaq puS
First, would the constraints concerning comparatives and superlatives in the
language allow for the adding of the emphasizing suffix to the condition
verb in the formula? Is such a thing grammatical?
Second, if this is grammatically correct, what is the semantic meaning of
it?
Would mine, exampled above, be correct?
Could this possibly be an example of a tlhIngan "double superlative?"
