*Qum, not Qom.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 8:48 AM, Noah Bogart <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Well, page 159 of KGT talks about Qom (communicate) and how in the past 
there might have been a noun form (communication), so the idea that a 
meaning has fallen so out of usage as to be nearly forgotten isn&#39;t 
completely irrelevant. I think it&#39;s more that we just don&#39;t have enough 
canon literature to compare/look to.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Noah</font><div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Oct 28, 2011 at 5:12 AM, Lieven Litaer <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank">[email protected]</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

In fact we do know a nice counter example: The German word &quot;Mädchen&quot;<br>
(girl, be&#39;Hom) does contain a diminutive suffix but the base word Maid<br>
or Magd is virtually non-existing nowadays and the etymology isn&#39;t<br>
immediately transparent to most users.<br>

Okay, thanks for this, BUT:<br>
<br>
a) I was talking about Klingon,<br>
b) even though most people might not know where &quot;Mädchen&quot; comes from, the word &quot;Magd&quot; still does exist (although seldomly used.)<br>
<br>
Im am sure we will find hundereds of examples like this in english or german. Kanin-chen, Eichhörn-chen, Ku-chen...<br>
