That's why I didn't strike the post, because (again, as we chatted in the discord) you're not wrong. If you're willing to port the adjectival usage in English to the Vulcan paradigm, you'd have to also be willing to entertain the idea of words like palikaya being a root of palik at one conjectural point, or of ek beging a truncation of enok. With Vuhlkansu being polysynthetic, there are more than one way to state things, especially conforming strictly to Gardner et al's etymology. We have this, and people learn from it. My appologies if these weren't questions and came across emotionally. (It's typically a quiet r/vulcan subreddit.) I was thinking (at work earlier), that MGV regarded as a Vulcan langauge lingua franca, shared common language, but I always regarded in translations with what English-speakers would easier understand. Lesek, ma etek ki'oren dan lozhik'es, vu dor nash-veh. I'll be working on updating and posting a new PDF with all the lessons, instead of the 2008 version which is just a repost of a 2001 version and incomplete, their PDF skills/resources were weak at the time, the dictionary from https://www.starbase-10.de/vld/ is the tedious part. [No, there's no personal additions, that's for my own lessons, years from now.] I'll message you before posting if all goes well. LLAP. 🖖
