The klingon word for "socks" is {paSlogh}. Is this word to be treated as being grammatically singular, and is it possible to say "one sock" in klingon ? As far as I know, it is unknown if a singular form exists. qunnoq

info from Maltz: pronunciation
by De'vID 17 Jan '19

--- begin quote --- TKD glosses {QIch} as “speech (vocal sounds).” The notation “(vocal sounds)” is intended to denote that “speech” here means the phenomenon of speech as opposed to an address or oration – that’s {SoQ}. So {QIch} doesn’t refer to individual speech sounds or speech sounds collectively. An individual speech sound is {QIch wab} and speech sounds collectively are {QIch wabmey}. “Pronunciation” could be {QIch wab Ho’DoS}, more literally (but awkwardly) “speech-sound manner, speech-sound technique.” --- end quote --- -- De'vID

info from Maltz: font/typeface
by De'vID 16 Jan '19

16 Jan '19

The "bold" and "italics" refer not to Klingon, but to how definitions are displayed in Latin script (Klingon in bold, English translation in italics, like in TKD). --- begin quote --- “Writing system” in general ({pIqaD} is just one of many in the world/galaxy) is {ghItlhmeH Ho’DoS} “system for writing.” ({Ho’DoS} is “system, method, manner, technique.” {pat} is “system” in the physical [or physical-like] sense, as in “computer system” [hardware or hardware and software together] or “transporter system” or “propulsion system.” {Ho’DoS} is not that.) For “font” or “typeface,” you can use {ngutlh tu’qom} “written character appearance/form/shape.” For “bold,” Maltz suggested {pI’} “fat.” For “Italics,” he said {chongHa’} “un-vertical.” --- end quote --- -- De'vID

{jatlh} vs. {ja'}
by Daniel Dadap 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Can {ja'} be used to mean “read aloud”, e.g., to describe the functionality of TTS software, or is it more proper to use {jatlh} for this? In other words, are the following two options equally acceptable, or is either one considered more correct than the other, to express something like “say it to me” to a computer? a) {HIja'} b) {jIHvaD yIjatlh} Background behind the question; you don’t need to read this to answer, but it might help explain why I’m asking: the iOS port of {boQwI'} has been rejected from App Store review, with the claim that it doesn’t provide any functionality beyond what a mobile optimized website (including websites that take advantage of HTML5 offline storage) could provide. While this is technically true, this could also be said of the overwhelming majority of apps on my phone, and likely the majority of apps on the App Store in general, so I don’t know why {boQwI'} fails this review criterion while other apps that seemingly provide less functionality than {boQwI'} pass it. I am in the process of appealing the rejection, but in case the appeal fails I am planning to add additional functionality so that the app can pass this review criterion. After considering some of the possible options, I have decided that the path of least resistance would be to add TTS functionality similar to what the original {boQwI'} app provides when the optional Klingon TTS engine is installed. It is, of course, possible to provide TTS functionality in a mobile website, but to preemptively address this concern, the TTS feature will be exposed via an iOS action extension, so that you can access it from another app by selecting text and sending it to the action extension. I will then plumb the action extension through to {boQwI'} so that it can use a feature that would not otherwise be available to a mobile website. I am hoping that I can call the TTS app and the extension it exposes {HIja'}, as a pun meaning “tell me” and also “yes”, but I don’t know whether the semantics of {ja'} allow for this, or whether {HIja'} can only mean “tell me” in the sense of “report a piece of information to me” and not “say something to me”. On a somewhat related note, does anybody know whether the fact that {HIja'} means “tell me” in addition to meaning “yes” is intentional?

{boQwI'} for iOS
by Daniel Dadap 06 Apr '18

06 Apr '18

Hi all, I've been working on porting the popular {boQwI'} Klingon Assistant program to iOS. I plan to publish it to the App Store within the next few weeks; if you are interested in testing it before the more general public availability, just e-mail me off list and I can send you an invitation to test via the App Store's "TestFlight" mechanism. The port is being done in Flutter, which supports iOS 8.0 and later on 64-bit iOS devices. Unfortunately I didn't realize that Flutter doesn't support 32-bit iOS devices until the port was already pretty far along, but hopefully there won't be too many people who would otherwise be interested in running boQwI' that get left behind by that hardware support gap. If you're interested, the project page for the port is up on GitHub: https://www.github.com/dadap/flingon-assister

{meH}ed nouns and verb prefixes
by mayqel qunenoS 04 Apr '18

04 Apr '18

I was under the impression, that {meH}ed nouns as {QongmeH Duj} don't take verb prefixes. However, a little bird told me that on "s.e. 1998.01.18" (whatever the ghe''or "s.e." actually is..), there is the canon sentence of: {jIpaSqu'mo' narghpu' qaSuchmeH 'eb} because I'm very late, the opportunity to visit you has escaped And here, we *do* have a verb prefix on a {meH}ed noun. ~ nI'ghma
