[tlhIngan Hol] Emotion words in the Landau Core Vocabulary

[James Landau]

Inspired by the new "Emotions" page on the Klingon wiki, here are the words in the "Emotions" section of the Landau Core Vocabulary (in Part IV). In the LCV, emotion words are listed in groups of five.


Most of these words are up at https://klingon.wiki/En/Emotions . Often, only one word is canon Klingon, but its relatives can easily be formed by adding suffixes like -moH.
