Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Tlhingan-hol Topic "where are you from?"

Robyn Stewart ([email protected]) [KLI Member] [Hol po'wI']

Good job, a well-assembled and explained sentence from a lurker. You should post more!
The only change I suggest is, in your explanation include a hyphen to indicate suffixes and prefixes, e.g. -bogh and Da-. Otherwise they look like the homophonic words Da (behave as) and bogh (be born). For the same reason I name suffixes with the type and number, such as V9, i.e. type-9 verb suffix, and not just v.
Do you think a person attending a convention would be more likely to answer the sentence you wrote with the place they were staying for the purpose of attending the convention, or the place they normally stay when they are not at a convention? That's the problem people are trying to solve.

"Where do you live?"~~  Daq DaDabbogh yIngu'

Daq   n. site, location
Da     v. you-him/her/it/them
Dab   v. dwell at
bogh  v. which
yI       v. prefix: imperative form you
ngu'   v. identify

If I have made some mistakes, please feel free to figure it out.
