Re: [Tlhingan-hol] A few questions about grammar re: adverbials, noun-like words
Felix Malmenbeck:
> 1) From paq'batlh, paq'raD, Canto 8, Stanza 11:
>
> jatlh 'e' mevDI' qeylIS, lop
> chaq tugh batlh Heghmo'
> 'ej chaq tugh charghmo'
>
> After Kahless's words, they celebrate,
> For they may soon die with honor!
> For they may soon be victorious!
>
> Another example is from paq'batlh, paq'raD, Canto 17, Stanza 11:
>
> reH batlh SuvtaHjaj chaH
> Let endless battle and honor await them!
And another from paq'raD, Canto 19, Stanza 5 (spoken by Molor to Kahless):
bIlay'DI' qaHarbe'
[...]
jIlay'DI' reH batlh jIpabchugh
Qapla'meywIj Hoch vIta'ta' 'e' DaHar'a'
Your word means nothing to me,
[...]
Did you think that my word of honor
Would have carried me this far?
and yet another from paq'raD, Canto 2 (page 101):
loDnI'wI'
bIQeHba'
chaq batlh bIvangqa'laH
My brother, I see your anger,
You might have a chance
To make amends.
