no known canon support. at least, i don't know of any offhand, and i
don't particularly want to take the time to check. the construction
which Okrand has suggested, involving <-qangmoHlu'>, makes me uneasy, as
i get the feeling this is a somewhat special case. i don't fully
understand the rules and structures involved. i *think* my constructions
above are similar to what is intended by the english. (although i could
very well be incorrect. i did these somewhat impulsively.) in any case,
i am much more comfortable writing this construction than that quoted by
Guido#1.
