As a matter of fact, we -- "the others" -- *are* scattered all about;
but I wasn't thinking that at the time. There was merely so much other
stuff about the sentence I was trying to correct that I didn't notice
that the wrong "plural" suffix had been used. {latlh} doesn't say to
me "I can speak!" the way {tlhIngan} or {jup} does, but I should have
noticed it nonetheless, and commented on it.
{latlhmey vItlhej} plays pretty loose with the meaning of the word
"accompany", but I believe it might be a good way to describe being
a member of this list.
