[Tlhingan-hol] learnings from Saarbrücken qepHom'a'
<div><br></div>I've already written several messages about things we learned at the qepHom'a' in Saarbrücken, Germany. I'll write down the rest of what I saw/heard here before I forget.<div><br></div><div>
I saw several new words (words new to me; they may already be known to others):</div><div><'IvtIH></div><div><rajma'></div><div><'eQway></div><div><cha'neH></div><div><ren></div>
<div><Qur></div><div><qurbuSwI'> (Morskan?)</div><div><br></div><div>I don't have definitions from MO for the first four words, only what I saw in others' notes. The words <ren>, <Qur>, and <qurbuSwI'> were defined in writing, but only in German, in a letter from MO. Presumably, the letter was written in English, and translated into German (by Lieven?), but I have not seen the original. However, I've had the meanings of <ren> and <Qur> explained to me by German speakers. <qurbuSwI'> appears to be a Morskan dialect word, but I didn't understand its meaning. Perhaps Lieven, or someone who can read the letter in German, can explain their definitions.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We also learned that the verbs <ghur> and <nup> are intransitive (the transitive forms have <-moH>), and also what the difference was between the verbs <reH> and <Quj>. <reH> applies to unstructured play, whereas <Quj> refers to structured play (with rules).</div>
<div><br></div><div>The following is not new info, but was discussed with MO at the qepHom: <Soj> refers not just to food, but anything consumed for sustenance (i.e., "food" in a more general sense than "solid food"); <Sop>, <tlhutlh>, and <'ep> are verbs which can be applied to different kinds of <Soj>.</div>
<div><div><div><br></div>-- <br>De'vID<br>
</div></div>
