Re: [Tlhingan-hol] scope of {-be'} and {-Qo'}

Lieven Litaer ([email protected]) [KLI Member] [Hol ghojwI']

I think this is one of the cases that are and will always be ambiguous. I once read a title in the newspaper "Police chasing burglars in clowns costumes" and I was wondering who is wearing the costumes :-)
{batlhHa' bIvangbe'} sounds to me as "You do not behave un-honorably", i.e. "what you did was not without honor". 

Maybe we must repeat the old rule "Klingon is very context related."

Lieven.
