[Tlhingan-hol] [KLBC] Tlinget influence?

[Robyn Stewart]

I think he’s talking about SAO. While it doesn’t make the sentence into a noun, it makes it into something that can play the role of object in a sentence, which makes it noun-like.

Mind you English does that with (and sometimes without) “that.”

Klingon doesn't do that. You can put -'e' on the head noun of a relative clause to distinguish it from a noun that isn't the head, and it'll go at the end of NOUN ADJ-'e', but it never creates nouns out of clauses.

Klingon's feature of making a clause into a noun by appending {'e'}, seems to be imitated from Sanskrit, which appends [iti] to clauses in the same role.
