Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Say'qu'moH

Bellerophon, modeler ([email protected])



<div dir="ltr">Am I correct in supposing {Say&#39;qu&#39;moH} is not a verb in its own right but merely a form of {Say&#39;}; that is, *Say&#39;qu&#39;moHnIS* /need to sterilize/ isn&#39;t allowed? This grammatical limitation on such verbs as {Say&#39;qu&#39;moH} seems to make them unwieldy for English speakers accustomed to circumlocution, but a Klingon doctor needing a sterile knife might simply say &quot;taj DaSay&#39;qu&#39;moH&quot; or &quot;taj Say&#39;qu&#39; vIneH&quot; and not discuss the fact that he needs it.<div>
<br></div><div>But how many verbs exist like {lo&#39;laH}, which I understand is treated like any monosyllabic verb and can Type 1 through 5 prefixes after the &quot;laH&quot; (so one could say &quot;lo&#39;laHchoH&quot; /become valuable/)?</div>
