De'vID:
So KGT rules out {ngo'} applied to people.
DloraH:
Does it rule it out? When talking about people, typically one is discussing age.
"The word {ngo'} in the phrase above means old as opposed to new.
Thus, it would be applied to objects or ideas, but not to animals or
people."
It certainly rules out something like {nuv ngo'} or {tlhIngan ngo'}.
DloraH:
A new chancellor is not necessarily young. He could be 100 years old, but became chancellor just
yesterday.

The problem with {Qang ngo'} is that I'm not sure if it means
"(current) chancellor who has been serving for a long time" or "former
chancellor (who is no longer serving in that position)". Klingon makes
a finer distinction than English for "old (not young)" and "old (not
new)"; but it doesn't make the distinction between "old (not recent)"
and "old (not current)".
