the use of 'qod'

Ave Glosa-pe!

I am trying to work out exactly what ‘qod’ means, comparing = and contrasting it to ‘qi’. It is not used in the “18 Steps” document. In= the online dictionary, it means “what (that which)”. I found 2 uses among= Ashby/Clark documents:

1. Plus, id sio evita excesi specializa per face m= o verba akti qod in Plu Palaeo Lingua gene face per tri alo ma. It would= also steer clear of over-specialization by making one word do what in na= tural languages is often [done] by three or more.

(from Paraleli Textu, W= endy Ashby & Ronald Clark, =A9 GEO, 1993)

Here it is the object of the fir= st phrase ‘mo verba akti’, and the subject of coming verb ‘gene face’. It = is sort of a relative pronoun, like ‘qi’, but larger than that.

1. “Mi ne = es tu, e ne ski; qod tu ski,” reakti Huitze, … “ “That I, not being you= , do not know what you know,” replied Huitze…”

(from Piski Hedo, Wendy= Ashby & Ron Clark, =A9 GEO, 1994)

Here it is the direct object of ‘mi …= ne ski’, and the direct object of the coming ‘tu ski’.

So to me it seems = equivalent to ‘u-la; qi’ - that which. Thus we could have the equivalent r= ewritings:

1a. Plus, id sio evita excesi specializa per face mo verba akti= u-la; qi in Plu Palaeo Lingua gene face per tri alo ma.

2a. “Mi ne es = tu, e ne ski u-la; qi tu ski,” reakti Huitze, …”

Is that how you all u= nderstand qod’s meaning? Other thoughts?

(Note - I realize 2a violates th= e rule in 18 Steps stating that ‘qi’ should be omitted in this case. pleas= e overlook so we can focus on the main point.)

Gratia!! Kim
