Thanks. And I'm glad I asked about that sentence. Somehow in the last
month my brain turned {-DI'} into "when."

Thanks. And I&#39;m glad I asked about that sentence. Somehow in the last m=
onth=C2=A0my brain turned {-DI&#39;} into &quot;when.&quot;=C2=A0<div><br><=

&gt; Hello. I have a couple quick questions about a passage from the paq&#3=
9;batlh.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; {tlhIngan wo&#39; nur ghob je<br>
&gt; HoSmoH quvvam<br>
&gt; che&#39;DI&#39; molor nur ghob je pujchoHpu&#39;}<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; With it, I restore pride and values<br>
&gt; Of the Klingon Empire, for under Molor,<br>
&gt; They have grown weak and faint.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; (paq&#39;raD 16:7-9)<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Shouldn&#39;t the third line read:<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; che&#39;DI&#39; molor, pujchoHpu&#39; nur ghob je<br>
<br>
Probably.<br>
<br>
&gt; Or am I missing something?<br>
<br>
Maybe it reads:<br>
che&#39;DI&#39; molor nur ghob je, pujchoHpu&#39;.<br>
<br>
(But, yeah, I think {nur ghob je} should be the subject of {puj}, too.)<br>
<br>
&gt; And a quick time question. In the third sentence, this particular<br>
&gt; combination of {DI&#39;-choH-pu&#39;} means that in the time span of M=
olor&#39;s reign,<br>
&gt; the weakening of {nur} and {ghob} started and then finished, correct? =
If so,<br>
&gt; I find this particular usage of grammar very cool.<br>
<br>
{-DI&#39;} means &quot;as soon as&quot;, not &quot;during&quot;.<br>
<br>
As soon as Molor reigned, pride and values became weak (whereas they<br>
weren&#39;t weak before), and this was completed.<br>
<br>
