[Tlhingan-hol] Signs and symbols

[De'vID]

qunnoQ HoD:
> signs and symbols rule the world ; not words nor laws
> confucius

Daj qechvam, 'ach qonbe'qu'pu' Confucius jay'!

It's not Confucius:

qunnoQ HoD:
> qo',luche',maQmey Deghmey je ;

maj. But why do you write commas between each part?

qunnoQ HoD:
> mu'meymo' che'lu'be',chutmeymo' che'lu'be'
> (signs and symbols rule the world ; not ruled because of words,not ruled
> because of laws)

Why not the simpler (and parallel): {qo' luche' maQmey Deghmey je;
[qo'] luche'be' mu'mey chutmey je}?
