There's even a graph there :-) But that page needs to be updated, as we have really gotten lots of new words lately. -- Lieven L.

lIn / bon Re: info from Maltz: some not new words
by PICHLMANN Christoph 27 Feb '18

My first thought when I read this: >From: Felix Malmenbeck <felixm(a)kth.se> >Interesting to have {lIn} with a single subject, as it's my understanding that {lIn} is more "share (among a group)", while {bon} is "share (one's own resources with beneficiaries)". was that maybe bon could be use to describe a more traditional server->client setup, where a dedicated server doesn't really "share" (as in give and take) anything, but merely provide for the client. Maybe even the way a web server "shares" its data with the clients?

info from Maltz: some not new words
by De'vID 26 Feb '18

26 Feb '18

These aren't new words, but I thought people might be interested in Maltz's suggestions on how existing words might be used. To my suggestion that the "random" button (which brings up a random entry) might be labeled {SuD}. --- begin quote --- Yes. Use {SuD}. --- end quote --- One of the features in {boQwI'} is qurgh's Klingon Word Of The Day, which schedules a download daily from the KAG server when the app is online. This led to the following three comments: --- begin quote --- For “feature,” is there any reason not to use {laH} “ability”? --- end quote --- --- begin quote --- When a computer (computer system) is “online,” it’s said to be “sharing,” so make use of {lIn}. (“Offline,” then, would make use of {lInHa’}.) --- end quote --- --- begin quote --- “Schedule” in this sense is the same as “plan,” so make use of {nab}. --- end quote --- There's actually just s slight bit more, but as it's an ongoing discussion the words aren't finalised so I'll hold off on the parts that Maltz are unsure about for now. (I agreed with Maltz that {laH} expresses what I wanted with "feature", which is why I thought it's okay to release it even though what he wrote was phrased as a question.) -- De'vID

New info on Qeb
by mayqel qunenoS 23 Feb '18

23 Feb '18

Yesterday, someone posted on facebook new info on Qeb, info which he said he had received from 'oqranD. I'm writing this in order to inform those, who aren't on facebook. New canon should be posted here, for a number of reasons, than just "thrown" in a labyrinth of posts of a facebook group, where most of the people join not in order to actually learn, but just because "it's cool" to learn one or two klingon sentences. ~ nI'ghma

info from Maltz: entries in a dictionary/database
by De'vID 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

--- begin quote --- For purposes of boQwI’, “definition” would be {jIyweS} “translation, gloss.” It’s not a definition like in an English-only (or any-language-only) dictionary (that explains/describes a word’s meaning); it’s a quick tag to give you an idea of what the word means. For “entry,” Maltz suggests {ghu’lIS} “item in a list.” {pong} is okay for “name” in the sense you’re using it here. {pab buv} is good for “part of speech” --- end quote --- -- De'vID
