Re: no'
/-wI'/. The evidence is from Power Klingon:
targhlIj yab tIn law' no'lI' Hoch yabDu' tIn puS!
Your targ has a bigger brain than all your ancestors put together!
/tuq/ is not capable of using language because it refers to the GROUP of
family members, not the family members themselves. Likewise for /mangghom/.
/no'/ does not refer to a group; it refers to members of a group.
Those who prefer the British over the American way of speaking of groups
will probably have a harder time with this.
