The book of our good captain
by mayqel qunenoS 15 Jul '16

15 Jul '16

After reading klingonska, I targeted my sensors on the book of our good captain Krankor, "the grammarians desk", which I need to say that it was very hard to find, and as soon as I did find it, it almost cost me an arm and a leg. Apparently it was shipped from ferenginar.. Anyway, I will use this thread to share my observations, with regards to the book of our good captain. Starting with : p.15 : {chay' veSDuj'a' vIghajlaH DaH 'e' boyajchoH} now you're all beginning to understand how I'm able to own a great warship This is written as an example of a correct sentence, but I don't think that it is ; the {chay'} can't be used in this way.

Accidentally sent this off-list. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: RE: [tlhIngan Hol] The book of our good captain Date: Wed, 13 Jul 2016 12:35:48 -0400 From: SuStel <sustel(a)trimboli.name> To: Lieven <levinius(a)gmx.de> We can’t jump in headlong and blindly accept any QAO without scrutiny, but we do have to acknowledge that QAO is not unquestionably illegal. De’vID’s (I think) question remains unanswered and a good one: if QAO is illegal, /why/ is it illegal? It’s a rule we made up ourselves. If we discount using question words as relative pronouns, what is the justification of preventing questions as the first sentence? *From: *Lieven <mailto:levinius@gmx.de> *Sent: *Wednesday, July 13, 2016 12:23 PM *To: *tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org <mailto:tlhingan-hol@kli.org> *Subject: *Re: [tlhIngan Hol] The book of our good captain I would not generalize that QAO is legal just because of this one example. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Photo needed

In China there is an organization that, among its other goals, promotes science fiction. They're the Future Affairs Commission (FFA) and I have encountered them through my work as a SF/F novelist. Recently, they ran an interview (in Chinese) they did with me, which included questions sent in by a Chinese Klingon speaker. Certainly one of the strangest interviews I've done. Earlier today, they contacted me about a new project. As part of a collaboration with Alibaba Pictures (a partner of Paramount Pictures in China) they are creating a "gift book" to celebrate the release of *Star Trek Beyond* in China. They are very pro-KLI, and they'd like to be able to mention us in the book. As such, they want a photograph of me wearing a qep'a' t-shirt (ideally in some sort of lecturing pose). While plenty of these exist on the web, they need one with sufficient resolution that it can be printed (i.e., 72 dpi just won't cut it). Do any of you have such a photo that you would be willing to lend to this purpose? If so, please fire off an email to me and attach the image as a JPG file. Thanks! -- Dr. Lawrence M.

Why I always say thanks

chaq taQ.. reH jIjatlh, qatlho' perhaps it is weird.. I always say thank you. 'ej taQmo' chaq ghel'egh 'op nuv : and because it is weird, perhaps many people will be asking themselves : qatlh reH mu'vam jatlh ? why does he always say these words ? a' wanI'vam QIjbogh jangmeH mu'tlhegh'e' tu'lu'.. however there is an answer which explains this.. puq jIHDI', jIHvaD pIj Su'ghar qutmey Soj lunobta' 'op nuv. when I was a child, people were giving me candy. 'ej lunobta'DI', reH SIbI' mujatlhta' vavwI' SoSwI' je : and as soon as they gave it, always, immediately, my parents would tell me : mayqeloy, DaH nuq DajatlhnIS ? little michael, what do you need to say now ? 'ej ghIq jIjatlhta', qatlho' so then I said, thank you. qaSpu' DIS law', 'ej jInenpu'. since then many years passed, and I grew up. 'a reH qatlho' vIjatlhmeH mughunta'mo' vavwI' SoSwI' je.. but because my parents programmed me, to always say thank you.. mu'meyvam vIjatlhbe'chugh vaj jIjor ! if I don't say these words, then I will explode ! mop Hurgh

Why I would marry janeway HoD
by mayqel qunenoS 12 Jul '16

12 Jul '16

reH jIjatlh, janeway HoD vIvuvchu'. I always say that I greatly respect captain janeway 'ej DaH jIjatlh, janeway HoD vISaw ; meq law'mo' vIneH. and now I'll say that because of many reasons I would marry her. 1. nIteb Hoch jogh loS tormoHta'. alone she brought the entire delta quadrant to its knees 2. yaSpu'Daj 'emDaq So'eghQo'. she doesn't hide behind her officers 3. DIvI' chut wa'DIch pabta'Qo'. Qu'Daj ta'DI', puch nav rur chut wa'DIch.. she willingly disobeyed the prime directive when she accomplished her goal, the prime directive resembled toilet paper.. 4. beqDaq toDmeH Heghta' she died in order to save her crew 5. qa'vIn nIt tlhutlhmo' she drinks her coffee black 6. reH HIp tuQbogh be''e' vIparHa'mo'. I always liked women in uniforms 7. rapchu' qa'wIj qa'Daj because we have similar characters 8. HoD quSDaq ba'taHvIS poghmey tuQmo' because while she's sitting at the captain's chair she wears gloves 9. naHchoHlaHmo' because she's able to become hostile 'ej.. and.. 10. QIHDI' tlhInganpu', Sa'HutchajDaq pe'vIl 'oH lanta' ghaH when the klingons wronged her, she *** their Sa'HutDu' ! hahaha mop Hurgh qunnoq
