Bachelor Thesis
by Lieven 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

I've been contacted by a german student who aks for your assistance. Some people have already seen her survey on the web. Here's her message: ------------------------------------------ I am currently preparing my bachelor thesis on „The Klingon Phonology and its phonetic realisation“. For this purpose I still need two Klingon speakers who would agree to make an audio recording of themselves reading aloud a Klingon text. It should have a good quality (no background noise), so that your voice is well audible. In addition to this recording I would like you to complete a short questionaire on your person and language proficiency. Your data and audio recording will be used anonymized. As a small reward I will donate 5€ to a relief organization of your choice! Also you may receive the final version of my thesis, if you are interested in reading it. Requirements: Please feel free to contact me Rebecca Palm on rebecca.palm(a)gmx.de (with indication of your language proficiency), if your mother tongue is American English and your language proficiency level one of the below mentioned. Advanced : By means of a dictionary I can slowly but surely write some sentences (vocabulary of 100-500 words) Professional : I feel confident using the language, but I know my shortcomings (vocabulary of 500-1500 words) Expert : tlhIngan Hol vIjatlhmeH mu'ghom vIpoQbe' net Sov (vocabulary of 1500-3000 words) ------------------------------------- -- Lieven L.

jacket patches with "real" Klingon?
by De'vID 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

I recently purchased some new fall/winter jackets. I wanted to decorate them with patches (the type that's ironed or sewn on). Can anyone point me to patches with "real" Klingon on it? I've found plenty online with decorative Klingon, but none of them say anything. Did the KLI ever produce such patches? -- De'vID

Thoughts on {-moH}
by mayqel qunenoS 08 Dec '16

08 Dec '16

there is something I noticed on {-moH}. If we use it on an intransitive verb it makes it transitive: jISaQ I cry qaSaQmoH I make you cry But what if we place it on a transitive ? jIchoH I change qachoH I change you qachoHmoH I cause you to change jIyuv I push qayuv I push you qayuvmoH I cause you to push I don't know how to describe it in grammar terms, but it seems that as soon as we place the {-moH} on a transitive verb, then the object can't "do what the verb says to someone or something else". If I write qayuvmoH for I make you push, then I may obviously be saying "I make you push", but how do I say "I make you push the table" ? raS qayuvmoH ? Is this correct ? can we have the {raS} just sitting there unmarked ? qunnoH jan puqloD ghoghwIj HablI'vo' vIngeHta'
