Probably not much to note about this word, except that it's also used in th=
e construction =ABvIraS Hol=BB =3D "French (language)".
Source: E-mail from Marc Okrand on March 27, 2012 (as quoted in an e-mail f=
rom Lieven Litaer; "[Tlhingan-hol] a tiny information from Maltz"; sent Apr=
il 1, 2012)
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Nevertheless, Maltz said that for language names the construction =
"country + Hol" is most common (so he preferred DoyIchlan Hol).=A0 Of =
course, it doesn't have to be a "country."=A0 It could be a region or a =
political unit or alliance of another kind (which is why DIvI' Hol fits =
in).=A0 He noted that tlhIngan Hol is really a shortened form of tlhIngan =
wo' Hol, but nobody ever says that in everyday speech.
If one were to say vulqangan Hol ("Vulcan's language" or "Vulcans' =
language"), that could mean the same thing as vulqan Hol, so the speaker =
would generally not be misunderstood, but if at an intergalactic =
gathering a Vulcan were speaking Federation Standard, then vulqangan Hol =
for that Vulcan at that time and place would be DIvI' Hol.=A0 There is no =
such thing as qa'naDa' Hol, but qa'naDa'ngan Hol might refer to DIvI' =
Hol or vIraS Hol (or Cree or Inuit or many other languages).
