Re: bInIvqu'bej

ghItlh naHQun:

(Even though I crashed and burned on my
advice about {qa'wI'}, I have been thinking
some more about this song.)

>ngugh qa?wI' bomchoHchu' toDwI'wI'mo'
>bInIv qu'bej bInIvqu'bej

I now think {vaj} is the appropriate
replacement for {ngugh} (and sounds
better, too). I see the 3 words in this
way:

{ngugh} 'then' - the sentence using it describes what happened
at a time you have set in a previous sentence: {cha' SaD ben
DIS Dab tlhInganpu'. ngugh chemvaH Haj.}

{ghIq} 'then' - describes an action that occurred subsequent
to another, but that was not a result of or contingent on the
prior action: {cha' SaD ben DIS Dab tlhInganpu'. ghIq juHHom Dab.}

{vaj} 'then' - describes an action that is the consequence or
result of another: {cha' SaD ben DIS Dab tlhInganpu'. vaj bIrqu'.}
