[Rohan Fenwick - QeS 'utlh]

ghItlhpu' De'vID, jatlh:
> We didn't have (m)any examples of relative clauses with adverbials before did we?

None that I can think of, but I'm not yet fully familiar with all the text of the paq'batlh.


> Now we have a clearer understanding of the following kinds of sentences.

(poD)
In truth I would have had no trouble at all interpreting most of those sentences. The only ones that make me hesitate a little are those that begin with two adverbials; it's not immediately apparent whether the second belongs to the {-bogh} clause or to the main clause (since we don't know much about whether there are limits on adverbials in a single sentence).

> {lengbogh DujlIj'e' nom qIp loQ jejHa'bogh 'etlhDaj}

I would also accept {nom lengbogh DujlIj'e' qIp loQ jejHa'bogh 'etlhDaj}, although the meaning of that is more ambiguous (again, the question arises as to whether {nom} parses into the main clause or the subordinate).
