[Tlhingan-hol] suffices on verb-adjectives

Brad Wilson ([email protected]) [KLI Member]



<font color='black' size='2' face='arial'>TKD is quite prescriptive in the use of suffices on verbal adjectives (TKD 4.4):
<div>vsR {-qu'} can be added as an intensifier - {Dujmey tInqu'} (very big ships)</div>

<div>ns5 {-Daq} is added to the verbal adjective when it is called for on the noun - {veng tInqu'Daq} (in the very big city)</div>

<div>Have we received any additional information about such suffices?</div>

<div>I'm thinking specifically of {-be'} which would seem to be a very logical usage where a verb-adjective with an&nbsp;<span style="font-size: 13.6000003814697px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">opposite-meaning</span><span style="font-size: 13.6000003814697px; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">&nbsp;</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">does not exist - {wep Doqbe'} (the not-red jacket). Or do we stick with the more traditional {Doqbe'bogh wep} ?</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br>
</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">gheyIl</span></div>
</font>
