If N is a number, NDich means "Nth". Thus, {loD wejDich} means "the 3rd man". That puts NDich in the place of an adjective. And a Klingon adjective is a special use of some intransitive verbs, e.g. {targh pI'} = the fat targ; {pI' targh} = the targ is fat. Does that allow e.g. {jIwejDich} = "I am 3rd", as if {wejDich} was fully an adjective?
