Subject: [Tlhingan-hol] New word: bridge
I'm not simply posting the whole messages because Marc's is not readily int=
erpretable without reference to mine, and mine is interspersed with persona=
l fangirlish stuff.
I asked:
I know Maltz is not always amenable to questions, but if he is in the mood,=
perhaps you could get him to speak about three things. In short, they are =
bridges, screws and aspect.
While I can describe a <bIQtIq HeHmey rartaHbogh ravHom> ("floorlet which i=
s connecting a river's edges") it becomes an exercise in mental gymnastics =
for me to write about and then the reader to recognize a bridge. Especially=
when I go on to describe a scene of actions taking place on under and arou=
nd said bridge. If it's important to Maltz, the bridge in question is a rop=
e suspension bridge with wooden planked footing, and crosses a river.
Marc:
The word for "bridge" (as in over a river) is <QI> (one of those weird vowe=
l-final words). Maltz said that would apply to the kind of rope bridge you =
described (as well as more substantial bridges).
