Adverbials...




I'm just wondering whether or not my list of Klingon
adverbials is complete. Could anybody please tell me? (TKDa
= The TKD Addendum)

Or perhaps just send me their list, and let me do the
checking. =|:-)

------------------------------------------------------------

Here's the list:

  {batlh} "honored, with honor" (adv) [TKD]
  {batlhHa'} "dishonorably" (adv) [KGT]
  {bong} "accidentally, by accident" (adv) [TKD]
  {chaq} "perhaps" (adv) [TKD]
  {chIch} "purposely, on purpose, intentionally" (adv) [TKD]
  {DaH} "now" (adv) [TKD]
  {Do'} "luckily, with luck" (adv) [TKD]
  {Do'Ha'} "unfortunately" (adv) [KGT]
  {ghaytan} "likely" (adv) [TKDa]
  {ghaytanHa'} "unlikely" (adv) [Radio Times]
  {ghIq} "and then, after that, by then, subsequently" (adv) [HolQeD 8:3 p.4]
  {jaS} "differently" (adv) [TKDa]
  {loQ} "slightly, a little bit" (adv) [TKD]
  {motlh} "usually, typically, as expected, expectedly" (adv) [KGT]
  {nIteb} "alone, acting alone" (adv) [TKDa]
  {nItebHa'} "together" (adv) [BoP]
  {nom} "fast, quickly" (adv) [TKD]
  {not} "never" (adv) [TKD]
  {pay'} "suddenly" (adv) [TKD]
  {pe'vIl} "forcefully, by force" (adv) [TKDa]
  {pIj} "often, frequently" (adv) [TKD, KGT]
  {pIjHa'} "seldom, infrequently" (adv) [KGT]
  {qen} "recently, a short time ago" (adv) [NEWS 2/3/99]
  {QIt} "slowly" (adv) [TKD]
  {reH} "always" (adv) [TKD]
  {roD} "customarily, habitually, regularly" (adv) [KGT]
  {rut} "sometimes" (adv) [TKD, KGT]
  {SIbI'} "immediately" (adv) [TKDa]
  {tugh} "soon" (adv) [TKD]
  {tlhoS} "almost, nearly, virtually, not quite" (adv) [KGT]
  {tlhoy} "overly, to an excessive degree" (adv) [HolQeD 8:3 p.2-3]
  {vaj} "so, then, thus, in that case" (adv) [TKD]
  {wej} "not yet" (adv) [TKD]

And then, of course, there are the repetition adverbials
using a number plus {­logh}, and the two special {­logh}
cases:

  {Hochlogh} "all times, always (emphatic)" (adv) [KGT p.178]
  {paghlogh} "zero times, never (emphatic)" (adv) [KGT p.178]

And three adverbials following special rules:

  {jay'} "intensely (invective)" (adv) [TKDa 5.4]
    (Comes last in the sentence.)

  {je} "also, too" (adv) [TKD 5.3]
    (Follows the verb.)

  {neH} "only, merely, just, alone" (adv) [TKD 5.4]
    (Follow a verb or noun.)
