Dajqu'. mI' rur /'aqroS/ 'e' qatlh DaHar? DIpmey rur latlh Hoch pagh je, vaj DIp rurba' 'aqroS.
where is the problem? i see /'aqroS/ as a noun like /Hoch/. if you follow your rule of interpreting /'aqroS/ (The cruising speed
of the maximum amount), how would you translate the TKW canon example "Hoch 'ebmey tIjon" - "capture oportunities of the all"?
