ghorgh and nuqDaq next to nouns
by mayqel qunenoS 16 Dec '16

16 Dec '16

to continue on something which I asked yesterday.. we said that we can't have {'Iv} and {nuq} as part of noun-noun constructions. but can we have the {ghorgh} and {nuqDaq} existing next to nouns ? for example can we say: {ghorgh DaSjaj mamej} when do we depart on monday ? {DaSjaj ghorgh mamej} on monday when do we depart {nuqDaq tera'Daq mIl'oDmey tu'lu'} where on earth someone finds bears ? {tera'Daq nuqDaq mIl'oDmey tu'lu'} on earth where someone finds bears ? qunnoH jan puqloD

Ride to Gondor!
by SuStel 15 Dec '16

15 Dec '16

I'm enjoying translating passages from /The Lord of the Rings,/ so I tried my hand at a bit of poetry. My goal was not simply a straightforward translation, but rather to maintain the meter and alliteration of the original while not straying too far from the literal meaning. Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered, a sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now! Ride to Gondor! petagh, petagh, ta' lIghwI'! qu' qaStaHbogh chav: qul peq je! ghIntaq yuvlu', yoD ghorlu' yan jaj, Doq jaj, narghpa' jul! lIghchoH, lIghchoH, GondorDaq lIgh! Translation notes: /Théoden/ doesn't alliterate with anything in Klingon, so I used *ta'* instead. I played a bit fast and loose regarding stressed syllables, since *-lu'* has a nasty tendency to take over the stress. Just stress the root verbs. The alliteration in line three was hardest to achieve. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Adjective suffixes
by André Müller 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

Somewhere (TKD I suppose) it's written that the only suffixes following a verb used as an adjective can be the negation suffixes {-be', -Ha'} and the intensifier {-qu'}. I think it's logical that both can occur together. So I have no doubts that you can say {Duj tInqu'be'} with the intended meaning. But other suffixes are excluded, do the answer to question 2 is no. It is easily understood, but ungrammatical. - André On 13 Dec 2016 08:18, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: I've been meaning to ask.. 1st question: Can we have on a be-verb which is used adjectively, more than one rover-type suffix ? Can we write {Duj tInqu'be'} for "not very big ship" ? 2nd question: Can we have on a be-verb which is used adjectively, a non-rover suffix ? Can I write {Duj tInba'} for "obviously big ship" ? qunnoH jan puqloD _______________________________________________ tlhIngan-Hol mailing list tlhIngan-Hol(a)lists.kli.org http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org

Because of the ... which it ...
by mayqel qunenoS 13 Dec '16

13 Dec '16

I was wondering how to say: "because of the revenge this custom epitomizes". Normally I should write: {bortaS'e'mo' chIwbogh tIghvam}, but obviously since {'e'} and {mo'} can't co-exist this is wrong.. So, unless I split the desired phrase into more sentences, then I guess one cannot say it in klingon through the use of only one phrase, right ? qunnoH jan puqloD
