Transitivity of qID
by Jeffrey Clark 08 May '19

08 May '19

In boQwI’, {qID} is marked as a transitive verb. I assumed that the object of the qID would logically be the subject of the joke; but after a discussion on the KLI Discord, we could not find any sourcing for transitive qID, and the gloss does not directly imply an object. Can anyone confirm that qID takes an object and what the object might be? —jevreH Sent from my iPhone

Can we interrupt words with dashes ?
by mayqel qunen'oS 08 May '19

08 May '19

In English (and Greek if anyne wonders..) when we write a word and there's no more space in the page, we interrupt the word with a dash. For example: flabber- gasted Can we do the same in klingon ? ~ m. qunen'oS dogs are four-legged trash

At the tlhIngan Hol jatlhwI'pu' facebook group, there has been a discussion about a new word for "mermaid". If it's Ca'Non (is it ?) can someone post it in the list too, so that it can be archived ? (...and because I want to add it to my dictionary too..) ~ m. qunen'oS learn klingon; we have cookies

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] SoS taj, scenes from KCD
by Christoph Pichlmann 08 May '19

I've got nothing concrete either, but I think I have the two occassions where it is used in the game. http://www.tlhingan.at/Misc/KCD_SOS_TAJ/mother_kill.mp4 <- one of the wrong choices, if you accuse your (poq's) mother (of killing your father), she'll offer her knife and tell you to use it. I don't think she's a warrior, so it's likely the SoS taj. http://www.tlhingan.at/Misc/KCD_SOS_TAJ/mother_threaten.mp4 <- poq's mother threatens Vok (enemy of the house of SepIch), using a knife - it's not clear where it's from, but I assume it is her knife, not his. I apologize for the mediocre quality, but for some reason my video editor refused to process these files, so I had to cut and recode using VLC. Also, the source is REALLY bad.

Does anyone have any more information on this? Is it a special type of knife carried only by (or especially associated with) mothers? What does it look like? -- De'vID

Can we say {qarbe''a'} ?
by mayqel qunen'oS 07 May '19

07 May '19

Read: wagh vIghro'mey tIQ, qar'a' ? ancient cats are expensive, is it accurate ? This is correct. Now, read this too: wagh vIghro'mey tIQ, qarbe''a' ? ancient cats are expensive, isn't it accurate ? Is the above correct ? And if yes, is there any difference in meaning compared to the first sentence ? Because I can't understand any difference in meaning, if any.. ~ m. qunen'oS learn klingon, we have cookies
