[tlhIngan Hol] Marc Okrand narrates audio tour for the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum

Fri Sep 9 14:38:15 PDT 2016

Just saw QeS' transcript; this is great!
I've copied and pasted it with corrections from the app:

==  Introductory section ==

[Notes: mu' chu' - {chIq}, likely meaning "traverse" or "cross".]

Yeager be'nal vanmeH, muD DujvaD "Glennis 'IH" pong Yeager.

[Notes: The text says *puvDI'*, and that's also what I hear in the audio, but it is probably meant to be {puvDI'}.
Both {wab Do} and {wabDo} are used. Perhaps {wabDo} is a unit, like Mach, and {wab Do} is the speed of sound?
mu' chu': vItlh - as QeS says, this could mean "be high (in magnitude)"
This text uses {van} as a verb similar to "tribute".
The text treats 1 qelI'qam as being almost exactly 2 kilometers: According to the English version, the X-1 reached  a speed of 1127 km/h. This is referred to as 564 qelI'qam, whereas 1127/2 = 563,5.]

----------
==  'amerI'qa' 'ev chan 'ev X-wa'maH vagh ==

wa'maH cha' X-wa'maH vagh 'orwI'pu' tu'lu'.
chorgh 'orwI'pu'vaD logh lengwI' Deghmey lunoblu'.

[Notes:
Again, {wabDo} is used as one word to identify a Mach number.
This article also gives us excellent confirmation for the length of one 'uj:
Previous data suggests that an 'uj is almost exactly 34,84 cm long.
According to the English version, the X-1 reached altitudes over 30 500 meters, which is translated as more than 9730 'uj'a'mey.
34500 [m] / 9730 ['uj'a'] / 9 ['uj/'uj'a'] ≈ 34,8293 [cm/'uj
If one 'uj is 34,81 cm or less, then a better approximation would have been 9740 'uj'a'mey (although since this is a "higher than" limit, it might be better to use 9730 anyway).
If one 'uj' us 34,85 cm or more, then 9720 'uj'a'mey would have been a better approximation.]

[Notes:
This measurement has quite low resolution for determining the length of one 'uj.
The flyer flew about 36 meters. Using 34,83 [cm/'uj], we get that to 11,484 'uj'a', so 11,5 would be a good approximation. Howeer, it would also be a good approximation with 34,7 [cm/'uj] or 34,9 [cm/'uj], so this doesn't tell us much.]

So I was almost done writing up all the texts when I got another e-mail and started to read it.

I had forgotten that my Outlook Web App does save drafts automatically or warn you about this.

I'm gonna go bang my head against a wall and write this up tomorrow.

I've listend to those phrase and maybe can solve some of your questions.
It may help to have the english version to compare, by the way, but the
doesn't work on my phone either :-(

I think it's the word neH, which explains why he says {Dochmey Daleghbe'
DaneHbe'bogh}

I think you skipped a paragraph:

I've added these to the Klingon language Wiki, if anyone likes to make
