In reply to "Yet Another Possible Word ... gulp:"
You never thought of the simple difficulty of trying to pronounce the
phrase "the so - called robot," or
qoqqoq
I hope this raises as much of a smile as the next word,which
Marc Okrand himself gave us:
nga'chuq sex - always subject
Now, the -chuq suffix (Type 1 verb) implies plurality, since it is
assumed that sex is always conducted with more than one person. How
many is more than one, by the way? :-)
But there is another Type 1 suffix, however. (Some of you may have
looked into the future, and are now cringing at what I'm about to
tell you. Good.)
The existence of the term <nga'chuq> must preclude the existence of
another verb, also always subject:
nga''egh masturbate (v)
Not to mention the possibility of there being a term such as
nga'wI'ghom orgy ...
I offer these without further comment.
Until the next time.
