[tlhIngan Hol] qep'a' cha'maH loSDIch New words and some tidbits

[qurgh lungqIj]

Greetings all,

I've posted the new Klingon words online at
https://www.kli.org/activities/qepmey/qepa-chamah-losdich/qepa-chamah-losdich-new-words/

We'll be working to get these added to the KLI's New Word List on the
website, but I wanted to get the pages out to you all as soon as possible.

I also got to ask Marc a few questions and documented his answers:

I asked about {jIb}, {pob}, {loch} and {rol} after there was a conversation
about it in the Learn Klingon Facebook group. {jIb} is only hair on the top
of your head, {loch} is the hair on your upper lip, {rol} is the hair on
your face that covers you chin/neck area, and {pob} is hair from the neck
down. "Arm hair" is {DeS pob}. The words cover both the hair and the entire
construction, so {rol} refers to a "beard" as well as the hair that makes
up the beard.

However, "ear hair" or "nose hair" is talked about using {pob}, and {pob}
*can* be used to talk about "face hair" or "head hair" but it would be
considered very strange to do so.

I asked about fronting nouns marked with {-'e'} as described in the TKD
Addendum. Marc said that {-'e'} fronted nouns are marked and it should only
be used in extreme situations. He said one could, if they wanted to, use
this all the time but it would be similar to an English speaking using
Shakespearean English all the time.

SuStel asked on Facebook if {yaH} refers to any work place, or just
military, and Marc said that it refers to any place where one does work.

I also asked Marc again about using {-Ha'} on adverbs. He said that if it
makes sense, then {-Ha'} could be used. I offered the example of {tlhIngan
Hol neHHa' vIjatlh} and he translated that as "I speak not only Klingon" as
in "I speak many languages including Klingon". He say that {vajHa'} still
doesn't make sense.

yItIv!
