Punctuation

Go here: http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Punctuation Scroll to the "klingonists convention", and read the table. (Irrelevant sidenote: I always found the word "scroll" to have a "dirty" sound.. I read scroll and my mind goes to Hut'In vil..) Anyways.. According to the aforementioned table, we have: Curly braces {tlhIngan Hol} Klingon words in English text Angled brackets <<quote>> Quoting spoken words in Klingon text Asterisks *mu'qoq* indicates Klingon spelling of a non-canon word Asterisks *English* English words in Klingon text Single Asterisk *pong indicates a Klingon name that's not canon I want to ask two things: 1. Why do I need to use angled brackets, to quote spoken words in klingon text ? If I want to say "michael said ancient cats are expensive", then I write the quotation after a comma. i.e. {jatlh mayqel, wagh vIghro'mey tIQ}. So, what's with the angled brackets ? 2. What if I have a klingon name, which is a Ca'Non klingon word which actually means something ? e.g., as with the klingon name of Daniel, which is {Hugh} ? Then what do I do ? Suppose I want to write "{nI'ghma'}s ancient cat married {Hugh}'s dog". How do I do it ? {Hugh *dog* Sawpu' *nI'ghma' vIghro' tIQ} {*Hugh *dog* Sawpu' *nI'ghma' vIghro' tIQ} {*Hugh* *dog* Sawpu' *nI'ghma' vIghro' tIQ} Of course, the table of the wiki isn't Ca'Non, but the result of a convention, of the closest equivalent to klingons in real life (which unfortunately it's us..); but I wonder what this convention holds with regards to the questions above. ~ m. qunen'oS I wrote, "..but the result of a convention, of the closest equivalent to klingons in real life (which unfortunately it's us..)" because I don't like klingons..

Dargh HIvje' jengva' je
by mayqel qunen'oS 20 May '19

20 May '19

ok, listen. Recently, a little bird informed me of the tnk {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je}, for "cup and saucer". After I thanked the bird, feeding it a few 'Iw breadcrumbs, I begun to wonder.. Doesn't the {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je}, mean "tea, cup, and saucer" ? If the intention behind the obscure {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je} is to actually mean "tea (cup and saucer)", i.e. "(cup and saucer) of tea", then how the ghe''or can the {Dargh HIvje' jengva' je} be interpreted as {Dargh (HIvje' jengva' je)} ? I would expect for "tea cup and saucer" to be {Dargh HIvje' Dargh jengva' je}. ~ m. qunen'oS DeghwI', DIvI' vIghro' yIbuS. QuQ neH.

DIvI' vIghro' vIjeylaHchugh.. taH.. If I could defeat a federation cat.. he continued.. mu'meyvam tlhuptaHvIS, Sum puqloDDaj; vaj jatlh puq: vavoy, ghorgh vIghro' tIQ DaSuv ? while he was whispering these words, his son (who was near), asked: father, when will you fight the ancient cat ? nuqjatlh ??? jangtaHvIS jatlh HoD.. vIghro tIQ'e' ?!?! puqloD, bIyajlaHbe''a' ?

THE ANCIENT CAT ?!?! son, can't you understand ? don't you remember the tragedy of our chancellor ? in the past, he engaged a federation cat, but only a few seconds later, the cat was clinging at his head ! in order to free him from the cat, it took five grown klingon warriors and a crowbar ! 'ej puqloD, taH HoD, vIghro tIQ 'oHpu'be' vIghro'vam'e'.. DIvI' vIghro' motlh neH 'oHpu'..

I've followed the fedaration cat's history since I was a boy.. a being to admire.. and hate.. ~ m. qunen'oS cat-obsession is a known side-effect of klingon..
