[Tlhingan-hol] 'arDaq

[Robyn Stewart]

I'd do an archive search but ... website search sucks.

Have we ever discussed the extension of 'ar beyond subject and object?

We have the examples:
nIn 'ar wIghaj?
Haw'pu' yaS 'ar?

I imagine that at some point I have said something like one of the following
in conversation, completely unaware that I was doing anything odd.

?quS 'arDaq nav vIlannIS? - How many chairs do I need to place paper on?
?HoH 'armo' bortaS wISuq?- How many killings will we get vengeance for?
?nuv 'arvaD Soj wIje'nIS? - How many people do we need to buy food for?

These two feel weirder, especially the last. I would omit the -'e'
?tera'Daq be' 'IH 'ar tu'lu'? - How many beautiful women are there on Earth?

?muj mu'tlhegh 'ar'e' qonbogh Qov?

In the light of 'arlogh and qep'a' wejDIchDaq I think I would argue for
these forms. 

-Qov
