Remember, Hamlet and the rest of the KSRP are NOT canon.  Hamlet, for example, 
has {Hoch} always follow the noun it's modifying, not precede it.  Some of 
those who worked on Hamlet are of the camp that says that {nuqneH} is about 
the same as "What's up?"  This does not make it correct.  It also doesn't make 
it wrong.  But it is not evidence either way.
