[Tlhingan-hol] To-Be-Constructions

[Steven Boozer]

Thanks.  I thought here was some discussion that the final glottal stop in {luqara'} was inadvertently omitted in this one instance.  AFAIK no one mentioned the typo {pongwI'} for {pongwIj}.

maj.  This is unambiguously the canonical grammar for "my name is X".

p.s. It is actually printed as {luqara' 'oH pongwI''e'} - there is a glottal stop on {luqara'}, but {-wI'} is used incorrectly instead of {-wIj}.
