"nothing, none" (n), {pagh} "no one" (n) and {pagh} "zero" (num) are almost
certainly the same lexeme, so can probably be "confused" with abandon.
latlh ghopDaq... There's an interpretation of Khamlet which alleges that
his famous statement is to be understood as: "Nothing endures. It (nothing)
does not endure." That is, the latter half, rather than being the second of
two options, is actually a restatement of the first, through a sort of word
play.
This interpretation has led to no end of essays by Klingon high school
students looking for an easy topic, as well as blood feuds among theatre
troupes who disagree with each other. In some theatres, the wrong length of
pause between {taH pagh} and {taHbe'} by an actor can start an "incident".
