RE: brother?
While a person who is a brother may be a {ghaH}, the word itself is still an
{'oH}, and if you are unsure that {loDnI'} is the word, I'd prefer putting
the uncertainty on the pronoun-as-verb instead of on the noun, since you
don't mean that the apparent {loDnI'} is the word. You mean that {loDnI'} is
apparently the word. See the difference?
Some might argue that {tlhIngan mu' *brother*} would be preferable to
{*brother* tlhIngan mu'}, but I doubt it makes that much difference one way
or the other. So far as we know, apposition is reversable.
bInIDrupqa''a'? Are you ready to try again?
