At qepHom 2023, we learned some words for whistles. Okrand just gave me
some additions on their usage. Most of it basically was clear, but it's
good to have a definite response:
- These ship- or factory-type whistles cannot be "played" by a person.
They're powered by some sort of energy (steam, electricity, whatever).
- You can use {SuS} if you're playing a {mu'vIb}, and {'uq} is if
there's no instrument/implement involved (except maybe your fingers).
- The verb to activate a wall-mounted device is {chu'} (not {SuS}).
This is added to the Klingon Language wiki:
