At this year's qepHom, we received lots of new words. Some of them were
wishes by qepHom attendees and others. Others were used in Andrew
Miller's Art presentation in a Museum of Pittsburgh, which happened on
the same weekend. Marc Okrand gave me the list in english alphabetical
order, so for reading convenience I re-arranged them in a somehow
logical order.
This is a list of terms I could not add to any of the lists. Some of
these were certainly also used during the art presentation.
Some words are extended meanings of existing words.
---begin quote---
agreement, contract, commitment mab
bathtub, swimming pool DoQmIv'a'
when needed, distinguish by qualifiers:
Say'moHmeH DoQmIv'a', QalmeH DoQmIv'a'
beacon rI'meH wovmoHwI'
brake chungHa'wI'
characteristic, trait DI'on
letter, written character ngutlh
lightning pe'bIl
magic, wizardry 'IDnar
mathematician mI' tej
mattress QongDaq 'echlet tun
(a very non-Klingon concept!)
nerve (anatomy, physiology) Hutvav
neural synapse Hutvav rarwI'
pin (straight) 'emvI'
studio, workspace jInmol pa'
subconscious mind yab qoD
unicycle wa' rutlh qam Do Duj
[verbs]
drive (a land vehicle) SeD
float (in/on air) 'al
manufacture, construct, put together mutlh
order (in a restaurant, from a catalog, etc.) vun
pin, attach or fasten with a pin vev
hectic, very active, lively ghan
peaceful, calm ghanHa'
wrong, awry waS
Note the difference between three words conventionally translated as
"wrong." {muj} is "be incorrect, factually wrong," {waS} is "be amiss,
awry" (something has gone wrong, this didn't turn out according to
plan), and {QIH} is "mistreat."
---end quote---
Additional information while talking to Okrand:
When {DoQmIv'a'} is a big tub, then - of course - a {DoQmIvHom} is a
small one, so it can be used for the meaning of a "bucket", or anything
similar.
[note: Klingon words were written in bold face. I've added brackets for
format-free emails]
