ja' mayqel qunen'oS: > Once again, you're addressing a matter on the assumption that someone > gives a crap, as to what a klingon would or would not say. [...] > Anyways, I'm tired of all this. Don't let you be disencouraged by this. You are right that sometimes it's annoying to get the answer that "Klingons don't say this and that", and some people use that answer abit too often. But on the other hand, what they really mean is simply "The Klingon language does not express it that way". Sometimes it's just the way it tis, and we have to live with it. It's not about how a fictive race may think or talk, it's sometimes just how a language works. I'm not being specific with this situation, because maybe we just don't know the word yet. But for instance, we know there is no way to express "the best" without having a comparison. For instance, we know you have to use a formula {X Q law', Hoch Q puS}. So there are many other situations where the answer just is "Klingons don't say that" while what we really mean is "That's not how one would say it in Klingon." -- Lieven L.

For what it's worth, most of the apostrophe/single quotations marks end up being question marks in the mails I receive. Single straight ones come through fine. Not sure how it's for others. I'm using Outlook/Exchange here, getting the digest mails from the list. For example a few lines from one of Lievens mails: >It doesn't only look very ugly when you read a text like {QI?tu? ?och >vI?el?a?} where the quotes jump back and forth, but it's also just the (In case it turns back to apostrophes, the klingon has ? every third character.) Personally, I only use the ', mainly because it's easier to type - the others require a press of the spacebar to appear. (Or another character that can't be modified by them.) Christoph

Adjectival use of {meQ}
by mayqel qunen'oS 26 May '19

26 May '19

First of all, remember that {meQ} is given as "burn". Now, read the Ca'Non sentence, from CK: {Ha'DIbaHmey meQ Sop 'e' tIv tera'nganpu'}. Unfortunately, I don't have the Ca'Non translation.. But, aside the obvious omission of the {lu-} from the {tIv}, let me ask you.. Can I use this Ca'Non sentence, as all the excuse I could ever need, to take {meQ}, and use adjectivally, like there's no tomorrow ? ~ m. qunen'oS let the Ca'Non flow through you
