<<vIHwI'>> Daj vIbejta'

wa’Hu’ <<vIHwI’>> vIbej. Daj. jatlhDI’ DoyIchlangan Hol lo’ DawI’pu’. HaSta bIS’ubDaq ‘amerI’qa’ngan Hol cha’lu’. QoylaHbe’ ‘op DawI’pu’. DoyIchlangan ghop Hol lo’ DawI’pu’vam ‘ej DawI’pu’vam ja'bogh latlh’e'. ‘amerI’qa’ngan pong ‘oH <<“Beyond” tamchu’ghach>>. DoyIchlangan pong ‘oH <<tamchu’ghach “the” latlh Dop>>’e'. I don’t know a way to designate the difference in meaning between “the other side” and “another side” without explicitly describing that there are only two sides, and this is the other one, and that difference is a big deal in this title, since “another side of silence” implies silence, while “the other side of silence” is intended to mean that silence is a boundary, and this is about passing through that boundary into a place that is not silent, which explains the English title. And on a totally different topic: I just read that Agatha Christie’s novels have been translated into more languages than any other novelist, and that there have been more copies published than any other literature, except for the Bible and Shakespeare. Hmmm. Is there a language that her works have not been translated into that leaves a gaping hole in the balance of the Universe? Murder mysteries. Schemes. Passions. I think the world needs an HPKTP. Hercule Poirot Klingon Translation Project. Anybody need a new mission in life? charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.

-moH on ghoS and jaH
by Jeffrey Clark 20 Feb '19

20 Feb '19

Recently the list had a short discussion about the difference between {pa'Daq jIghoS} and {pa' vIghoS}. I'm curious about the relationship between those things when you add -moH onto the end of it. Is {pa'Daq qaghoSmoH} "I cause you to come to the room" or is it "While in the room, I cause you to come (somewhere unspecified)"? Intuitively, I feel like it should be the former, but I'm unsure. --jevreH

How many times do we need to repeat the -neS ?
by mayqel qunenoS 20 Feb '19

20 Feb '19

Suppose we want to say: {nov Dun, Hoch jaj bIvemDI', nIQlIj DatIvmeH, vaghmaH Sor Sopchugh, vaj tagha' chal bIQ ngem Hoch Danatlh} "great alien, each day as soon as you wake up, in order to enjoy your breakfast, if you eat fifty trees, then finally the entire rain forest will be gone" (I wonder how I keep thinking this kind of sentences..) Anyway.. If we want to make this sentence honorific, then were do we place the -neS ? With the exception of the Dun which is used as an adjective, then do we need to place -neS on every single verb of that sentence ? That is should we write: {nov Dun, Hoch jaj bIvemneSDI', nIQlIj DatIvneSmeH, vaghmaH Sor SopneSchugh, vaj tagha' chal bIQ ngem Hoch DanatlhneS} ? Or if we used -neS fewer times, or maybe only once, it would suffice too ? ~ mayqel *capricorn* qunen'oS

Placement of the qatlh
by mayqel qunenoS 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

Seemingly, this is a rather simple thing to be confused about. Unfortunately though, I *am* confused about it, so I need to ask.. In english/greek we can say: "Why in order for you to help me, I need to feed your cat ?" or "In order for you to help me, why do I need to feed your cat ? When it comes to klingon, which of the following is the correct choice ? {qatlh choQaHmeH vIghro'lIj vIje'nIS ?} {choQaHmeH qatlh vIghro'lIj vIje'nIS ?} ~mayqel *capricorn* qunen'oS
