new words qepHom 2016 (nature, forging, materials)
by Lieven 06 Dec '17

06 Dec '17

At this year's qepHom, we received lots of new words. Some of them were wishes by qepHom attendees and others. Others were used in Andrew Miller's Art presentation in a Museum of Pittsburgh, which happened on the same weekend. Marc Okrand gave me the list in english alphabetical order, so for reading convenience I re-arranged them in a somehow logical order. These are terms about plants, forging, and materials. ---begin quote--- branch (of a tree) bartIq fog, mist vI'laS garden Du'Hom ivy (Terran) tera' 'arDeH ivy-like plant 'arDeH mud, clay, putty DabqI' trunk (of tree) Qechjem'a' cast (cast metal) (v.)

War related expressions
by mayqel qunenoS 31 Dec '16

31 Dec '16

recently, we said that we can write {may' Suv} and {may' ghob} for "to fight a battle". two questions: if we want to say "fight a war", are the {noH Suv} and {noH ghob} acceptable ? and how do we say "win a war/battle" and "lose a war/battle" ? qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'

Confuse me workaround
by mayqel qunenoS 31 Dec '16

31 Dec '16

Since {mIS} means "mixed up", and not "be in a state of perplexity", the need arises (at least it did for me quite some time ago), to express the "to be confused". luckily, today at another thread the wonderful workaround appeared in my mind; {mutlhoDmoH whatever}. maj ! another problem solved.. one less thing to worry about. qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'

{-rup} or {-beH} ?
by mayqel qunenoS 31 Dec '16

31 Dec '16

In order to indicate that a person is ready to do whatever we use {-rup}. In order to indicate that a device is ready to do whatever we use {-beH}. If however we want to say "his leg was ready to break", do we say {ghorrup 'uSDaj} or {ghorbeH 'uSDaj} ? qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'
