<nej> already means "look for" and the "for" of <-vaD> doesn't fit looking for something , since it implies a benefactor, "for the sake of", and not the target of <nej>. ter'eS Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone -------- Original message --------From: Brian Cote <wearetheinformation00(a)gmail.com> Date: 1/16/17 12:34 PM (GMT-06:00) To: tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] <<poSayDon>> vImughlI' To answer the remainder of your original question, I pulled {paqvaD qanejmoH} off of the "klingon_grammar" page on the Wikipedia. However there was no citation given for where the example of this particular construction came from.

Disregarding your suggestions for recasting these sentences for the moment. {bI'reS} - I was intending to use it as a time stamp, as in the {paq'batlh}, however, I'm thinking {wa'DIch} might have been more appropriate here. wa'DIch would have been better. A bI'reS is the beginning of some artistic performance, not a job. {Qu'DajvaD ghaH parqu'moH} - I'll explain my thinking here. I was intending to write /(this idea specifically) caused him to really dislike his duty/. I based this on the example of {paqvaD qanejmoH}, but as I'm currently writing this, I'm realizing that this probably falls under the category of the "prefix trick", correct? I was thinking that {ghaH} would be the explicit direct object and {Qu'Daj} would be the explicit indirect object. This obviously didn't work, correct? Does paqvaD qanejmoH appear in paq'batlh? I have only about two-thirds of it typed in and searchable, and what I have already done doesn't contain that phrase. Our first example of how to do this was on a SkyBox card, where the phrase was ghaHvaD quHDaq qawmoH it causes him to remember his heritage. Following this pattern, your desired sentence would be ghaHvaD Qu'Daj parqu'moH it causes him to really dislike his task. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Hello, here's my first draft attempt at translating the opening of one of my favorite short pieces by Franz Kafka: "Poseidon." vummeH raSDajDaq ba' poSayDon 'ej SIm. >Poseidon sat at his desk, doing figures. >Poseidon saß an seinem Arbeitstisch und rechnete. Hoch bIQmey loH not 'e' mev. >The administration of all the waters gave him endless work. >Die Verwaltung aller Gewässer gab ihm unendliche Arbeit. boQwI'pu' law' rItlaH, mI'chaj vuSHa'lu', 'ej SaHbej HochHom chaH, 'ach ghaHvaD potlhqu'mo' Qu'Daj, Hoch Simqa', 'ej vaj loQ luQaH neH boQwI'pu'Daj. >He could have had assistants, as many as he wanted — and he did have very many — but since he took his job very seriously, he would in the end go over all the figures and calculations himself, and thus his assistants were of little help to him. >Er hätte Hilfskräfte haben können, wie viel er wollte, und er hatte auch sehr viele, aber da er sein Amt sehr ernst nahm, rechnete er alles noch einmal durch und so halfen ihm die Hilfskräfte wenig.
