by David Holt 23 Aug '17

A group has contacted the KLI seeking a translator and singer (or at least someone who can teach another singer) in Teaneck NJ. The song is a nonsense song and the job does pay a little. If you think you have the necessary skill and can arrange to help them in person, please let me know. Jeremy

mIS (n) mIS (v) and mISmoH
by mayqel qunenoS 23 Aug '17

23 Aug '17

The words mIS (n) mIS (v) and mISmoH, have only to do with mental confusion ? Can they be used with the meaning "because of the accident there was great confusion at the street" ? And can they be used with the meaning of "mixing one thing up with another" ? qunnoq

qep'a' cha'maH loSDIch New words and some tidbits

Greetings all, I've posted the new Klingon words online at https://www.kli.org/activities/qepmey/qepa-chamah-losdich/qepa-chamah-losdi… We'll be working to get these added to the KLI's New Word List on the website, but I wanted to get the pages out to you all as soon as possible. I also got to ask Marc a few questions and documented his answers: I asked about {jIb}, {pob}, {loch} and {rol} after there was a conversation about it in the Learn Klingon Facebook group. {jIb} is only hair on the top of your head, {loch} is the hair on your upper lip, {rol} is the hair on your face that covers you chin/neck area, and {pob} is hair from the neck down. "Arm hair" is {DeS pob}. The words cover both the hair and the entire construction, so {rol} refers to a "beard" as well as the hair that makes up the beard. However, "ear hair" or "nose hair" is talked about using {pob}, and {pob} *can* be used to talk about "face hair" or "head hair" but it would be considered very strange to do so. I asked about fronting nouns marked with {-'e'} as described in the TKD Addendum. Marc said that {-'e'} fronted nouns are marked and it should only be used in extreme situations. He said one could, if they wanted to, use this all the time but it would be similar to an English speaking using Shakespearean English all the time. SuStel asked on Facebook if {yaH} refers to any work place, or just military, and Marc said that it refers to any place where one does work. I also asked Marc again about using {-Ha'} on adverbs. He said that if it makes sense, then {-Ha'} could be used. I offered the example of {tlhIngan Hol neHHa' vIjatlh} and he translated that as "I speak not only Klingon" as in "I speak many languages including Klingon". He say that {vajHa'} still doesn't make sense. yItIv! qurgh

Qunnoq: >> Is the {pa'Daq dog lu'elmoH} correct for "they caused the dog to enter the room" ? Not if you mean *{pa’Daq ‘el} “enter the room” then {‘el} “enter” already implies {-Daq}: mIch 'elpu' jay' They've entered the @#$% sector! (TKD) Hevetlh wIghoSchugh veH tIn wI'el maH'e' that course will take *us* into the [Great] Barrier as well! (ST5) HIq DaSammeH tach yI'el To find ale, go into a bar. (TKW) tach vI'el, HItlhej Let's go to the pub. (RT) neHmaH Da'el net tu' Caught breaching the Neutral Zone. (MKE) ghe'tor 'el qeylIS Kahless enters Gre'thor (PB) ghe'tor vegh Duj / Suto'vo'qor lojmItmey 'el Duj The barge went through Gre'thor into the gates of Sto-vo-kor (PB) pa' 'elDI' Duj 'Iw HIq pIw qagh pIw je lularghlu'chu' The smell of bloodwine and gagh filled the barge upon entering. (PB) ghe'tor 'el nuv ghe'torvo' tlheD ghaH 'e' tu'be'chugh neH veqlargh ghe'torvo' cheghlaH nuvvam One can only return from this Underworld, If Fek'lhr does not notice one Entering or leaving Gre'thor. (PB) qa' qo' chu' 'el Duj The barge entered a new underworld (PB) ghe'tor Da'elta' 'ej lojmItmeyvo' Damejta' 'ach bIrIQbe'mo' SoH neH Since you are the only one Who ever entered Gre'thor, And left the gates unharmed, (PB) vavlI' loDnI'lI' je DaSammeH ghe'tor Da'elmo' 'ej Damejmo' QeHchoH qa'pu' vaj lubIjlu' They will pay for the anger You caused by entering and leaving, Gre'thor in search of your kin. (PB) If you want to say something else happened there, use {-Daq} as a place stamp to set the scene: pa'Daq mo’ DOG lu'elmoH in the room, they caused the dog to enter the cage i.e. everyone – both the people and the dog -- were already in the room when the action occurred. If you’re asking about {DOG lu’elmoH}, I’ll let someone else comment. -- Voragh

question words in noun-noun constructions

I was wondering, whether we can use question words ('Iv and nuq) in noun-noun contructions. For example {qaq nuq wornagh Sar ?} for "which ale variety is preferable ?". Would this be correct/acceptable ? qunnoq
