The Klingon Dictionary - red edition?
by Aurélie Demonchaux 27 Mar '18

27 Mar '18

Hi everyone! I've just realized that on Amazon, the image of the Klingon Dictionary displayed now shows a "red" Klingon Dictionary instead of the usual white one. I've never seen this! It looks like Amazon has actually replaced the product image on the product page, because when I checked in my orders history, the image for the TKD also shows the red edition instead of the white one which I had received at the time. It is strange, but it looks cool though. Check it out! https://www.amazon.com/Klingon-Dictionary-Star-Trek/dp/067174559X Is it just a reprint of the 1992 edition with a new cover, or are there new words too? (reH mu'mey chu' tu'lu' 'e' vItul ;) ) Qapla'! ghItlhjaj chIS'a' tlhIngan Hol mu'ghom? ghobe'. Doq!

tlhIngan Hol mu'ghom Wordpress

I just stumbled over a wordpress website called {tlhIngan Hol mu'ghom}, but it does not say anything about who made it. It was started in February 23, 2018. Who did that? I'm quite surprised I had not heard about that before, because it is surprisingly well organized, it has a clean and useful user interface and most of all: It seems VERY correct and up to date! It has words that have just been released, it contains quotes from ALL canon sources, also from Emails, and it even has content taken from the Klingon wiki. My guess first was that it's from Klingonska Akademien, because that's the only other page I know which is complete. But it does not use KA-pIqaD, and besides, why would they do that in secret? So either someone wrote a cool software collecting the data, or someone has done a very good and long work on that. See this: https://tlhinganholmughom.wordpress.com/ -- Lieven L.

any Seinfeld fans out there?
by De'vID 25 Mar '18

The pun behind {Dut} "slam down" seems to be a Seinfeld stand-up monologue where he complains that he doesn't like mobile phones because you can't slam down the phone any more, but instead have to [mimics pressing a button on a device while making a "doot" sound]. He's told the joke multiple times, and in later versions he does a swipe (for an iPhone). I've seen a version where he does the "doot", and I think it must have been from the "stand-up" portion of an episode of the Seinfeld show (because I haven't seen a lot of his other stuff). Does anyone know the episode? (The only videos I've located where he tells that joke are from the iPhone swipe version.) Thanks. -- De'vID

"Don't beam down to Qo'noS without this app!"
by Daniel Dadap 24 Mar '18

Would {nIqHomvam Daghajbe'chugh Qo'noSDaq yIjolQo’!} be a grammatically and lexically sound way to express this? I feel moderately confident about the lexical part, but not the grammatical part. {Qo’noS yIjolQo'}? {Qo’noSDaq yIjol’eghQo’}? {Qo’noS Dajolbe’nISlu’}? {Qo’noSoymeyna’majDaq yIjol’eghqangQo’choHmoHbejta'neSjaj}? {‘IHqu’ yIHmeyvelth}?

info from Maltz: audiovisual media
by De'vID 24 Mar '18

24 Mar '18

In answer to how to express "media", "video (visual recording)", and "audio (sound clip)". --- begin quote --- Maltz didn’t think that {much} was quite right for “media,” but he also wasn’t sure what was included in “media” – the phenomena of video/audio/etc. or a physical (or digital) video or audio tape or file. What about print? That is, does “media” mean “the press” (as in “freedom of the press”)? Does it include “newspaper/magazine”? A video (à la YouTube) could be a {HaSta ta} “visual display record.” The audio counterpart could be a {wab ta} “sound record.” --- end quote --- -- De'vID
