Ca'non master :

jIHvaD ghantoHmeyvam Da'angmo', qavan Ca'non pIn'a'.
because you revealed these examples for me, I hail you Ca'non master.

vIHaD 'ej tugh {-meH} latlh lo'vam wIja'chuq.
I will study them and soon we will discuss this additional use of {-meH}.

De'vID :

maj De'vID ! jImoDmo', {wuv} QIjchu'ghach vItu'be'.
thank you De'vID ! because I hurried, I didn't observe {wuv}'s exact

> HQ 5.1:  This is the only way to say "replacement proverb" currently, but in the past, the common term was the lengthier {quvqa'meH vIttlhegh}, literally, "proverb for (the purpose of) being honored again". The word {qa'meH}, clearly a shortened form of {quvqa'meH}, was originally used only in the construction of {qa'meH vIttlhegh}, but, though historically two verb suffixes, it has become accepted as a noun in its own right, meaning replacement in the sense of something that takes over for or is used instead of something that is gone or that has been lost.
