ngoH vs ngeH
by Lieven 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

I have always wondered why Vixis says her phrase in ST5 {nImbuS wejDaq 'ejDo' 'entepray' ngeHlu'pu'} "The Starship Enterprise has been dispatched to Nimbus III." incorrectly as {ngoHlu'pu'} or {nguHlu'pu'}. Now I've had a look at those Star Trek 5 notes printed in HolQeD 8:4, and indeed - the word is written there as {ngoHlu'pu'}. So maybe she did not mispronounce, but she read what was written? (I even thought it may be a pun, but unfrtunatley, the word {ngoH} was released as "smear" long before the movie). Is there anyone who can check if the typo was original, or just slipped throught the HolQeD's editor's fingers? -- Lieven L.

The blind hermit
by Lieven 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Hello friends, I received a request from a student/linguist who asks for help for a linguistic project. He has written a short poem which, according to him, makes the structure of semantic elements easily visible and therefore seems to be good to compare languages. The original version is English, and he has about 100 translations available already. Klingon is missing, so maybe someone likes to do this, or we do it on this list as a group: The Blind Hermit I have no friends; my friends are my senses. I have no enemies; my enemy is absent-mindedness. I have no allies; the stick that guides my steps is my ally. I have no companions; the sea is my companion. I have no songs; I hear the birds in the wood. I know no tales; the wind and the rain whisper to me. I have no books; my memories are my books. I have no games; my game is life. I have no mother; my mother are the plants and the streams that sustain me. I have no father; the cave that shelters me is my father. I have neither master nor disciples; I am both myself. I have no quarrel with anyone; I rarely speak. I do not fall sick; the only true disease is doubt. I pray to none; my belief is that which I know. -- Lieven L.

chIjwI' tIQ bom question
by Brian Cote 15 Mar '17

15 Mar '17

Having finally finished reading the paq'batlh, I'd decided to take a short break from reading long works in Klingon. However, I saw on the Klingon wiki that Rhona was/is working on a translation of the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner. On further investigation I found a rumor of a possible PDF available of said poem. Is this still available? If so, I think I might just jump back into reading another long work in Klingon. Thanks, QImSIr
