In reply to some of your comments on <nga/chuq>:
Bear in mind that at no point has Marc Okrand stated that nga'chuq is
any sort of "fossilised" verb construct. The term is just presented
to you without comment.
Granted, I can accept that <nga'chuq> could easily be a bisyllabic
verb whose second component is identical in sound to the Type 1
suffix -chuq, carrying no further meaning than that; but since Marc
has stated that the term is always used with a subject prefix, it can
be assumed that the <-chuq> in question is our old Type 1 friend,
<-chuq> one another. This has to imply the root term *nga' for
<sexual> or whatever.
We shall see (I hope). Because Paramount have commissioned another
work by Marc Okrand, available some time this year. The book is,
apparently, titled "The Book of Klingon Virtues" and a tape will
accompany it, narrated by the author and Michael Dorn.
Or, at least, that's what I read from a recent authorised Paramount
flyer, anyway.
Later.
