OK, but how would you say something like "Ayanna Pressley introduced a bill to lower the voting age"?
I voted +1 on this. Why? We already have nenghep (Age of Ascension) and peHghep (Age of Inclusion), which imply that the word for age is ghep. ghep as a standalone is not canon, though. If Marc Okrand says that ghep really is the word for age, though, I'd like it to be official.
I would say the following:
chut cherbogh rIp'a'vaD chupta'ghach SeQ much A.P.
yIn poH DISmey mI' rav'e' poQbogh lapwI' nupmoHmeH chut chupta' ghaH.
AP presented a formal suggestion to the great council that establishes law.
She suggested a law for decreasing the minimum number of lifetime years required by a voter.
I guess that works, even if it takes two sentences to say. It would still be nice to know if "ghep" is for real, though.
It's two sentences because we lack words for legislature and bill (or chut [precursor]).
Maybe someone can request a word for bill/act in the legislative sense during the next round.
Whoa, I didn't know about ghep. If this is true, I'd like it to be official.
For many years already we have been told that we cannot assume what a part of a word means, no matter how obvious it may appear. So, no matter how strongly we suspect that ghep = age, we are not allowed to use it this way.
