charghwI':
: "Be near" does seem ripe for an
: object, though it is one of those verbs beginning with "be". It
: is an interesting verb, since it both strongly suggests an
: object, as you have used it, {Duj vISum} and it suggests that
: it could be used adjectivally {Duj Sum yIghoS!}.
Sustel:
: Okrand himself has held off on answering that question. The main reason I
: assume it is intransitive is because {Hop}, described simply as "far" (on
: Conversational Klingon) would have to be "far from" to be transitive, and
: {Sum}/{Hop} certainly does seem to be a corresponding pair. Annoyingly,
: {Hop} does not appear in Klingon for the Galactic Traveler.
:
: I certainly don't like {Duj vIHop} as "I am far from the ship," but I see
: this as necessary if you're going to say {Duj vISum}. {Hop Duj} and {Sum
: Duj} work fairly well, when used correctly.
"As for how to use {Sum} `be near, nearby'--that will require some more time
with Maltz. {Do' Sum matlh.} I would think, however, that it would work
the same way as {Hop} `be far'." (MO on Expert Forum 9/97)
Hop "be remote, be far" (v) ["Quality, to be at a great distance from."
