Hello again,
Here are some more words that were asked by several people:
----
For the archive: this is printed in qepHom 2017, page 8.
----
{mI'wI' much} n. "dance show", a show consisting of people dancing. It
can be used to translate "cabaret" if the cabaret show consists entirely
or nearly entirely of dancing, but that's a special and infrequent
situation.
{much Qe'} n. "cabaret", means the location, such as a nightclub or
restaurant where there's food/drink along with a show.
{Qe' much} n. "cabaret" means the show performed in such a place.
{Huj} is "strange" as in unfamiliar
{jum} is "odd" as in peculiar, unexpected, fishy
{taQ} is "weird" as in bizarre, unnatural, maybe creepy
An "odd number" is {mI' mob}
An "even number" is {mI' mobHa'}
In appropriate contexts, the {mI'} could be left out.
{tem} v. "deny" means "contradict, disavow, claim as false" and the
like. It does not mean "refuse, reject, turn down, don't permit"
In TKD, {DenIb} and {DenIbya'} are both glossed "Denebia." But that's an
error. The planet name in English is Deneb, not Denebia. But this
coming-and-going -ya' thing crept its way into the English side of the
dictionary somehow. HIvqa' veqlargh! The Klingon, however, is correct:
there are two versions of this name.
