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"
Quvar,
