[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Sar

[Steven Boozer]

Klingon word: 	Sar
Part of speech: 	noun
Definition: 	variety
_______________________________________________

(De'vID < MO, 1/16/2019):  By the way — note that the noun {Sar} means variety in the sense of "an interesting variety of tea," not "variety is the spice of life".

(De'vID < MO, 2/25/2018):  As you say, case, lower case, and upper case are not Klingon things, so there’s no traditional Klingon jargon for this. Maltz said to just use big and small:  {ngutlh tIn}, {ngutlh mach}.  For "ignore case", perhaps {ngutlh Sar buSHa’} "ignore written-character variety" or {potlhbe’ ngutlh Sar} "written-character variety isn’t important".

(De'vID < MO, 1/16/2019):  If "we" are the ones doing the hearing, the grammatical ambiguity remains — is {Sar} a noun or a verb? -- but there's even less potential meaning confusion:  {QIch wab Ho'DoS Sar DIQoy} "we hear varied pronunciations / we hear accents";  {QIch wab Ho'DoS Sar wIQoy} "we hear a varied pronunciation".  This could also mean "we hear an accent", but, as above, this would be unusual.  One would be more likely to hear something along the lines of {QIch wab Ho'DoS Sar Huj wIQoy} "we hear a strange accent".
