If Okrand WERE to say "yes, you can generalize what I did with *beyHom
bey bey'a',*" would you understand it?

<div>This is also the only thing I am grasping there. It would not
make sense to me. It sounds either like a mere list, or like a
NNN construction meaning "I measure the lesser speed of the
speed of the greater speed of the ship." Neither of which makes
sense. Maybe that ship has only 3 speed modes, slow pace, middle
pace, and full speed, and I could measure what they are (e.g.
half impulse, full impulse, and warp 1).<br>
