[Tlhingan-hol] Qun qa'

[Steven Boozer]

I found another:

'ach HoD, Hevetlh wIghoSchugh veH tIn wI'el maH'e'
But Captain, that course will take *US* into the [Great] Barrier as well! ST5

Now looking at the subtitle "as well", I wonder if that should have be {maH je}?

All of the Type-5 noun suffixes make sense to me, and many have been seen in canon.



=== 'e'===

TKD includes the sentence {lujpu' jIH'e'} as "It is *I* who have failed."
I believe it's generally accepted that this should really be {jIlujpu' jIH'e'}, however.



When somebody wrongfully asks me {nuqneH?}, I like to reply (at least in my mind) with {pagh vIneH. nuq DaneH SoH'e'?}



I could also see it used in comparatives:

{tlhIH'e' Hul'Iq HoS law' Hoch HoS puS.}

= "Hul'q is the strongest of y'all."



ghaH'e' is used in paq'batlh:


{veng 'elDI' ghaH / pawpa' ghaH'e' / paw lutDaj 'e' Sov qeylIS}
= "Upon entering the city, / Kahless knows his tale / Has preceded him."
paq'batlh, paq'raD, Canto 10, Stanza 1
