Lieven (LLL) interviews Okrand (MO) [qepHom 2017 p.13]:<br>
<br>
MO: For signal I suggest the verb {rIS}. This means "make a<br>
cracking or snapping sound" but can also be used to mean<br>
"emit a signal". Maybe Klingons used to use Geiger<br>
counters a lot.<br>
LLL: How is this different to {tlhuD} "emit radiation"?<br>
MO: {rIS} originally referred to emitting sound only. Later<br>
the meaning was extended to mean emitting any sort of<br>
signal - sound, radiation, smell, etc. {tlhuD} refers to<br>
radiation only.<br>
LLL: So a {rISwI'} would be some sending device, right?<br>
MO: It could mean this, yes.<br>
LLL: How would I say that I receive or detect a signal?<br>
What about {rISHa'}? Is it the opposite of "sending"?<br>
MO: {rISHa'} would refer to sending a signal improperly, like<br>
maybe to the wrong person. It wouldn't mean receive or<br>
detect a signal.<br>

<br>
(Lieven, 11/07/2017) : I need to look back where you mean this, but {rIS} somehow means making a crackling sound, so it can surely be used for any kind of humming or crackling device, and also anything that is emitting something besides of sound or radiation. To detect a warp signature, you actually detect that the warpdrive is {rIS}ing.<br>
