I know, that probably there's no Ca'Non for this, but I'll ask anyway. Should I write: raSDaq vIghro' tu'lu' or raSDaq, vIghro' tu'lu' Should I write: pa'Daq vIghro'vaD nIm vIqeng or pa'Daq, vIghro'vaD nIm vIqeng or pa'Daq, vIghro'vaD, nIm vIqeng Should I write vIghro' gha'cher bo'Degh je vIlegh or vIghro', gha'cher, bo'Degh je vIlegh Should I write jISop 'ej jItlhutlh or jISop, 'ej jItlhutlh ~ ncncncc

teH vs {-na'}

Recently, charghwI' wrote and I replied: charghwI': > don’t expect everyone who reads what > you’ve written or hears what you’ve said > to be keenly aware of whatever fine > shade of meaning that you intended to > convey by choosing one or the other. jIH: > This is a wonderful comment indeed. > I've noticed, that as the years go by, and > the more I use klingon, I tend to *feel* certain > words in a certain way, without though this "perception" > of mine actually being based on solid Ca'Non. As it seems, I just noticed one such case.. Yesterday, I wondered how to express "darkness is the real light". So instinctively I wrote: {tamghayna' 'oH Hurghchu'ghach'e'} I used {-na'} because in my mind, I had attributed to it the meaning "to be real, true" as opposed to "counterfeit". In other words, somewhere along the way, I started perceiving the {-na'} to be conveying a meaning opposite to the verb {ngeb}. Luckily though, yesterday, I had the idea of checking with the tkd. So, lets remember, the way {-na'} is defined: tkd: > {-na'} <definite> > This is the counterpart of {-Hey.} It indicates that there is no > doubt in the speaker's mind as to the accuracy of his or her > choice of words. Once the Klingon officer referred to above is > sure that the object the scanner has found is a vessel, he might > report the presence of {Dujna'} <a definite vessel, undoubtedly a > vessel.> So, after reading the relevant tkd part, I understood that by saying {tamghayna' 'oH Hurghchu'ghach'e'}, I'm not actually saying "perfect darkness is the true light" (true as opposed to fake/counterfeit). By saying {tamghayna' 'oH Hurghchu'ghach'e'}, i'm actually saying "perfect darkness is the definite light" as in "perfect darkness is surely the light". Perhaps there doesn't seem to be any significant difference between these two translations.. Or is there ? Lets read: "perfect darkness is the true light" "perfect darkness is the definite light" But if I say "perfect darkness is the definite true light", then perhaps a difference starts to show. Saying "perfect darkness is the definite true light", means that perhaps there are many kinds of light which can be considered "true", but only one is actually the true one, while the rest only appear as being true. So, I think, that by saying {tamghayna'} i'm not expressing the concept of "true light" (as opposed to counterfeit). I'm rather expressing that "it is definitely a light", but a light which may be of the counterfeit variety. So, to say that "perfect darkness is the true light" (as opposed to the counterfeit kinds of light), perhaps I should write: {tamghay teH 'oH Hurghchu'ghach'e'} Anyways, in no way am I sure that my analysis is correct, so any thoughts and comments are mostly welcomed. ~ hjkhkjkhhjk

QochHa'

SuStel: > So QochHa' can mean undoing a state of > disagreement, or it can mean disagreeing > with the wrong thing or at an > inappropriate time. I would like to discuss this a little more, just to be certain that I understand {QochHa'} correctly. By "undoing a state of disagreement", we mean that "we disagreed and now we agree again". By "disagreeing with the wrong thing", we mean that "I thought it was a fox, you thought it was a dog, so we disagreed, although what it actually was, was a sheep". By "disagreeing at an inappropriate time", we mean that "the time was inappropriate because it was late at night, or because we where disagreeing about feeding the cat while our planet was collapsing". Are the above correct ? ~ hchchc
