jIbogh vs jIboghpu' and a pizza
by mayqel qunenoS 22 Dec '18

Suppose I write: {loSmaH wa' ben jIboghpu'} for "I am 41 years old". Literally though, the klingon goes "41 years ago I have been born" i.e. 41 years ago my "being born" has been completed. Lets forget this for the moment.. If I write {wa'Hu' pItSa' vISoppu'}, this means that "one day ago my eating the pizza has been completed". But I could have eaten this pizza many days ago, and yesterday is just another day during which my eating of the pizza continues to be completed. So, can't the {loSmaH wa' ben jIboghpu'} be interpreted to mean, that I am in fact older than 41, and that it is just that 41 years ago, my birth (which took place way earlier) remains completed ? So, why not write instead {loSmaH wa' ben jIbogh}, for "41 years ago I am born", thus avoiding the ambiguity ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS korriban DungDaq 'al sith Degh Hochlogh wew Hurghchu'ghach jul

Out of curiosity.. What happened to the HolQeD project, which was going on in the list some time ago ? Did it go down the toilet ? ~ mayqel qunen'oS
