DIp 'oHmo' {'op}'e' ("some, an unknown or unspecified quantity"), naDev
 'utbe' qarmoHmeH latlh mu'. nIteb narghlaH {'op}, DoSDaj 
ghovlu'chu'chugh qoj QIjlu'chu'chugh. naDev'e' {'op naDev nuvpu'}, rurbogh vay' ghap qa'meH lo'lu'.
Because 
{'op} "some, an unknown or unspecified quantity" is a noun, another 
qualifying word is unnecessary here. {'op} can be used on its own if its
 scope is clearly recognisable or already defined. Here, it's used instead of {'op naDev nuvpu'} or something similar: "some [people here] can speak German".
