Re: tonSaw, pabpo'

[quote]
: Speaking of words that are "nuqvo'?"... I seem to remember seeing
: the word pabpo' used for "grammarian" (with Okrand being the
: "pabpo''a'", and if we had too many people claiming authority
: there would be "pabpo'mey").  "pab" is "grammar" or "to follow
: (rules)", but I don't see "po'" or "pabpo'" anywhere in TKD.
: nuqvo' 'oH mu'vetlh'e'?
As close as I can figure out, po' means "expert." However, it's a verb, so I'd
expect "pabpo'wi'." Perhaps Eli can enlighten us....
