uu> From: "Mark E. Shoulson" <ur-valhalla!cs.columbia.edu!shoulson>
uu> Pardons for jumping in on Qill; I haven't posted much lately. I'm
uu> going to do this in English, to make sure it's read.
Glad to see you're still with us!
>qeylIS,
>jIchoHlaHbe'bogh Dochmey vIlaj 'e' chaw'bogh jottaHghach HInob,
uu> "jIchoHlaHbe'bogh Dochmey" is wrong, for starters. If you delete the
uu> "-bogh" from a relative clause, you should wind up with a sentence.
uu> "jIchoHlaHbe' Dochmey" isn't a sentence, and it doesn'tmean "I can
uu> change things". Since the "things" are what's being changed, they are
uu> the *obnject* of the verb, and so come first. Also, if I'm changing
uu> them, I have to use the I/them prefix on the verb: vI-, not jI-. Do it
uu> has to be "Dochmey vIchoHlaHbe'bogh"
Hagh qoHpu' neH HeghtaHvIS SuvwI'pu'. I agree. Please, feel free to use your
'oy'naQmey on me.
uu> You might want to go to "-meH" instead of phraseology like "accepting
uu> calmness". Maybe "choQaHmo', Dochmey vIchoHlaHbe'bogh vIlajmeH
uu> jIjotjaj." (may I be calm in order to accept the things I cannot
uu> change, because you help me).
>jIchoHlaHbogh Dochmey vIchoH 'e' chaw'bogh toDuj HInob,
uu> Similarly here, "Dochmey vIchoHlaHbogh vIchoHmeH jIyoHjaj."
That does look much more legible, and intelligible.
>'ej muberghmoHpu'mo' jIHoHnISbogh ghotpu'vetlh porghDu' vISo' 'e' chaw'bogh
>yoj QaQ HInob
uu> A useful word: "lom" for "porgh". At which point I myself would use
uu> "lommey" and not "lomDu'", though I don't know if I could tell you
uu> why. Again, ghotpu' vIHoHnISbogh lom vISo'meH jIvaljaj.
Thank you! I somehow missed {lom} in my AKD. Corrected, and flagged!
