= I am happy that you like the translation "all and [whatever]..." :-)
Well, the phrase "only game in town" springs to mind. I can't imagine why...
<:-)
= But remember that when the subject is plural and there is a singular
= object, you need to use the prefix {lu-}.
@Oi1! Can I bollix a language or WHAT? Okay, so factoring in that minor
adjustment, this should be syntactically correct -->
'e' wISovpu' Hoch jIH je
^^-- (Note: prefix for we/it)
..though VERY unlikely to pass my lips any time soon. And consequently, it

= >[regarding Adjectives]
= >[web] (disgraced), [toj] (deceiving), [magh] (betraying), or [mIgh] (evil)...
= Watch out! TKD 4.4 says "A verb EXPRESSING A STATE OR QUALITY can be used
= immediately following a noun to modify that noun."
@Oi2!
= You can't use both {-rup} and {-qang} on the same verb
@Oi3! I thought I saw a different prefix number on -qang.
Five K-sentences, five chances to screw up.
There are a great many canons pointed at my head...
