Re: correct?



ask:
Isn't Denebian Slime Devil one of these two:
/DenIb Qatlh/ or / DenIbya'ngan Qatlh/  ?
--------

No, a {DenIb(ya')ngan} is an inhabitant of Denebia, a "Denebian". If "denebian" means "from 
Denibia", it's just {DenIb(ya')}

literally,
{DenIbya' Qatlh} 
   is "Slime Devil of Denibia"
{DenIbya'ngan Qatlh}
   is "Slime Devil of an inhabitant of Denibia"

But both {DenIb} and {DenIbya'} are correct, like
  {qarDaSya'} "Cardassia" {qarDaSya'ngan} "Cardassian"
  {qarDaS} "Cardassia" {qarDaSngan} "Cardassian"

There is another planet ending like this, but we only know one form:
  {Sorya'} "Sauria"
