<div dir="ltr">Sorry SuStel,<br>But some of us.INCL keep words that are imagined plausible translation of words distinct from words that are found in the dictionaries or can be seen in the English versions of canoncial phrases. I do so, and perhaps voragh does that too.<br>

    Also {ngIp} &quot;borrow&quot; seems to be used in TalkNow! for &quot;rent&quot;:<br>

      nuqDaq puH Duj vIngIp (TNK)<br>
<br>
    How is this line actually translated in TalkNow!<br>
<br>
The English line is &quot;Where can I hire a car?&quot;. So the official canon<br>
English alternative translation is &quot;to hire&quot;.<br>
</div></div></blockquote>
<br>
Ooh, yuck. That&#39;s not the &quot;official canon English alternative translation&quot; of {ngIp}. Let&#39;s not get so caught up in &quot;official&quot; that we lose sight of the big picture.<br>
<br>
{nuqDaq puH Duj vIngIp} is how Okrand chose to translate &quot;where can I hire a car?&quot; It&#39;s not marked as being the only way to say it, or the most correct way to say it. It&#39;s just a way to express approximately the same idea. Translations like this may be canonical, but that doesn&#39;t make them official, exact, or exclusive.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
