I think DIgh may have been the word I was wanting, but it didn't come up in my search. I've been really slow at learning new words. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 7/17/18, Ed Bailey <bellerophon.modeler(a)gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] "rookie" vs "veteran" To: "tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org" <tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org> Date: Tuesday, July 17, 2018, 1:25 PM Maybe instead of using {bam}, use the related word {DIgh}, perhaps {DIghpu'wI'} "one who has dealt with (something)." I'd also be inclined to pair {chu'chu'wI'} (one who is clearly/perfectly new) for a newbie with {ta'ta'wI'} (one who has deliberately accomplished) for an old pro, and that covers about the same territory as rookie/veteran. ~mIp'av On Monday, July 16, 2018, Steven Boozer <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> wrote: > bam face, have the prospect of having to deal with (v) (qepHom 201 > Qob lIb bam SoH chuDlI' je > You and your people are in danger.

But... we do have a [SIQwI'] entry in the dictionary already.

I like both of these contrasting pairs: chu'wI' / ngo'wI' - newcomer / old-timer (proposed by De'vID)taghwI' / taHwI' - beginner / survivor (proposed by loghaD; seconded by voragh) I like chu'wI'/ngo'wI' for its simplicity and clarity, and its suitability to just about any context; I like taghwI'/taHwI' for the same reasons, and also because it is a minimal pair demonstrating the contrast between gh and H, and really emphasizes proper speech, as voragh mentioned. However, that could also be a source of confusion, e.g. when listening to a poor quality recording. The words are also indistinguishable from each other when whispered. I think if the situation is appropriate, SIQwI' “endurer” might be good. Perhaps it might even be appropriate in a general sense. It can also take aspect suffixes to indicate whether the experience endured is complete (QI' SIQpu'wI' - one who has served in the military and is no longer in active duty; a common use of the word “veteran”) or actively occurring (Quj'a' SIQtaHwI' - one who is experienced in a sport and still participating in it; another common use of “veteran”). In response to this note from Quvar: PS: veteran in the military sense might be {SuvwI' po'} or {SuvwI' qan}. tlhIngan SuvwI'pu' qan tu'lu'be'.
