[Tlhingan-hol] Still untitled beginner story: parts 5 & 6 with translation

[Robyn Stewart]

Adjectival use of stative verbs is not on the beginner syllabus.

 

The story is pretty weird, so non-knowledge of the restaurant is the least of the unexplained problems. I never, for example explain why he thinks the hideous chair is a ship.

Qov:
> That supports Qe' vISov.  "I have knowledge of a restaurant." Only reason it's weird to say is that it's in walking distance of the guy's own home, but maybe he doesn't go out much.

How about an adjective? {Qe' QaQ vISov} or something? That makes it less weird because, while the guy might know of its existence, he might not know about its quality.
