"To Err is Klingon"
by Riley Dosh 13 Jun '19

13 Jun '19

When using the word "human" as a synonym for imperfect, how would that translate? I can imagine they'd just use "Human," or even "tlhIngan," but doesn't seem quite right given the context. Would it be more correct to just say pupHa' or bachHa'? So translating "to err is human" would be bachHa'taH Humanpu'? -rItlhI' (she/her)

According to Matthew chapter 6
by mayqel qunen'oS 11 Jun '19

11 Jun '19

Before I proceed by posting the 6th chapter, there is something I would like to say. At another thread, earlier I wrote: > 'ej mu'meyvam vIHarbej. qawlIj vIHo'qu' ! > and I truly mean it. I *do* admire your memory ! The english translation, doesn't match the klingon; and this happened because I was in a hurry, hungry, tired, and getting sloppy, I wrote the first thing that came to mind. However, as far as the translation of the new testament is concerned, things are quite different. A great deal of thought has been put in every line, and every line has been checked and then checked again, against the original Greek text, which is my intention to translate as accurately as possible. Of course, there may be grammar mistakes e.g. a wrong verb prefix, but unless there is an *obvious* mistake in grammar, then *everything* is written the way it is, *intentionally*. And I will mention three examples to demonstrate my point. 1. At some paragraphs, the klingon starts by jesus addressing multiple people (as evidenced by the {tlhIHvaD jIjatlh..}), and two lines later, jesus gives instructions to one person. This is not sloppiness on my part, but something intentional, since this happens in the original Greek passage too. 2. At this chapter (the 6th), at the 6th line the klingon goes {qoD pa' yI'el}, for "enter the room of the interior", which is intentional for reasons which are too numerous to mention (but if someone is interested, I'd by happy to do so). 3. At this chapter (the 6th), at line 27, the klingon goes {yInDaj DISmeyvaD wa' vI' wejmaH wa' 'uj chellaH'a' nuv ?} for "is a person able to add to the years of his life 1.31 'uj ?". Someone could start saying "how can someone add to his life, a length of linear measure" ? But this is intentional, since the original Greek goes, "who among you can add a cubit to his age ?". So, what I'm trying to say, is that as far as this translation goes, I'm not fooling around, everything is written after a great deal of thought and headache, and unless something is an obvious mistake in grammar, everything, and I mean *everything* is written intentionally. I don't care what a klingon would and would not say. This translation *will* be completed, and it *will* be the closest translation possible to the original Greek. And unless klingons spoke new testament greek, they can go ngagh'egh, I never liked them anyway.

laj lajQo' {-vIp} and imperatives
by mayqel qunen'oS 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

If I remember correctly, tkd has the Ca'Non example: HIHoHvIpQo' don't be afraid to kill me If I say HIlajvIpQo', according to the above, it should translate to "don't be afraid to accept me". However, the lajQo', has been given as "reject". So, this means that saying HIlajvIpQo' means/can mean too "be afraid to reject me". If the above are correct, then we have a sentence with two different meanings. "Don't be afraid to accept me", sounds like an encouragement. "Be afraid to reject me", sounds like a threat. Does anyone have any comments on this matter ? ~ m. qunen'oS

Imperatives and type nine suffixes
by Daniel Dadap 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

I don’t remember ever seeing a rule against using type nine verb suffixes with an imperative prefix. At the same time, I also cannot think of any sane reason one would want to do this, nor can I coax any example I can think of where a verb has both an imperative prefix and a type nine suffix into making any kind of sense. I’m pretty sure that type nine suffixes and imperative prefixes can’t coexist, but maybe I’m just not being imaginative enough. Can anybody think of an example where a type nine suffix somehow marks an imperative verb and actually means something useful?
