[tlhIngan Hol] chavlu’ta’ maySon

[Steven Boozer]

I wanted to say *{Hat buj} “a temperature neither warm nor cool”, but I couldn’t find a simple way to connect it to the rest of the sentence without using {qaStaHvIS}.

  qaStaHvIS Hat buj, wa’logh maySon chavlu’ta’.
  Superconductivity achieved one time while a temperature
  neither warm nor cool occurs.

“For the first time” is tricky too but as I said, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to be the first to use {maySon}.

Does this use of {-Daq} work?

I mean, I know in English, we do use the preposition “at”, but unless we are talking about where the needle of a dial points, this seems like an odd use of the concept of locative.

So, if I diss something, I should come up with a positive suggestion, right?

… aaaaand the word order is a little wonky.

wa’logh bujtaHvIS maySon chavlu’ta’; pa’ Hat rur.

The word order is wrong, but the -Daq is correct:

wa'logh pa' bujDaq maySon chavlu'ta' superconductivity achieved once in an average-temperature room

The -Daq applies to the achievement taking place in a room of average temperature, not "at room temperature."

An opportunity to play with some new vocabulary: {buj} “be neither warm nor cool” and {maySon] “superconductivity”.
