Re: [Tlhingan-hol] using adverbials or {-qu'} with comparison?
There have been several good suggestions here. I’ll add what I come up with:
tlhoy nI’mo’ Qu’vam, maQaplaHbe’.
And if you don’t object to the Englishy “require” and “have”, then:
poH poQbogh Qu’vam nI’ law’ poH ghajbogh Qu’vam nI’ puS.
Qapla’vaD, tlhoy paS Qu’vam.
or
tlhoy paS Qu’vam taghmeH wanI’.
Qu’vam Dachup ‘ach bIpaSqu’. nIteb Data’ DaneH’a’? qabejqang. Dubot pagh. [Gesture the way to the door while stepping aside to clear the way.]
Or more directly:
poHwIj ‘Iq natlh qechmeylIj QIp.
lojmIt tI’wI’ nuv ‘utlh
