Hello, I know that there are several different ways of counting, and I know that the media have used this number frequently, but I have just noticed that after the new words from qep'a' (+148) and qepHom (+67), the total number of words has passed the 4,000 mark. For details, see the wiki page http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/NumberOfWords Just thought I'll let you know :-) -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de

update: ghom

Another info from #qepHom2019 The noun {ghom} is used only for groups of people. {mu'ghom} is an exception. Marc Okrand said that {ghom} sound weird for a group of trees or similar. For that, there is a different word, but he didn't say what. -- Lieven L.

The dialog lifted from “Conversational Klingon” should be played one phrase per measure in the interlude between the second refrain and the final verse, timed with the bass drum beats. It would ideally be the original audio from the audiobook, heavily distorted to make it sound like its being spoken through a pipe, but if the pacing of the original audio isn’t suitable, or if there’s some other reason it doesn’t sound good, then it can be replaced with a new performance, with suitable audio distortion. The text interleaved into the lines of the final verse should be performed with a distortion similar to the text in the interlude. It takes the place of the “echo” in the last verse of the Terran version of the song. Rather than repeating the refrain ad infinitum and fading out, as with the Terran version, this song should have a definitive end, either with an abrupt cutoff, or an orchestra hit or something. The bit about an 'o'megh can be recited either after the music has finished, or while the instrumental track continues without vocals, to be followed by the end of the music. Or that part can be ignored, and the song can fade out with an 'o'meghqoq just like the Terran version.

qepHom 2019 words: answers
by Lieven L. Litaer 18 Nov '19

18 Nov '19

I tried to collect your questions on the new words and talked to Marc Okrand at the qepHom 2019. Sorry if I missed any, they were spread over several places. The entire interview can be read at the Klingon wiki. This is the summary: - A stalagtite is always called {pa' beb De'lor}. - {DoylI'} can have as many wheels as you wish. - {raywal} can not be used for a voting booth. - {raywal} is booth usually used for people while a {HuDyar} is used for storage, but the meanings seem to overlap, as tey are both similar structures. - {'an} is only used for people it they are literally "turned into stone". - If {loq} can be used for a volcano remains unanswered, but the answer seems "no".
