pluralizing epithets
by mayqel qunen'oS 27 Sep '19

Since we don't know, what exactly a {petaQ} or a {yIntagh} is, I know that probably there's no answer. But I wonder.. How would you pluralize the {petaQ}, {yIntagh}, {toDSaH}, etc ? Would you use {-pu'} or {-mey} ? ~ bara'qa'

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] HaQchor and cockroaches

*HaQ* backwards is QaH . So maybe the pun is "help the belly" (get slimmer) ? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2019 20:08:38 +0000 From: Steven Boozer <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> To: "tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org" <tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org> Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] HaQchor and cockroaches Message-ID: <SN6PR11MB3053EC11F9F73ECDE64A56C8C1860(a)SN6PR11MB3053.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Thanks for sharing this. I'm always suspicious when I see words of two or more syllables -- especially the early ones from TKD -- so I have to ask: Is {HaQchor} another pun? {chor} is "belly", but {HaQ} is otherwise unattested. Voragh -----Original Message----- From: Lieven L. Litaer Some time ago, there was a discussion here about "saccharin", i.e. {HaQchor}. Here's a short story I just remember from talking with Marc Okrand which I'd like to share with you. When working on the Klingon Dictionary, Marc Okand decided to have that word in the list, because he thought about what we could have in the future, and he thought that "artificial sweetener" would certainly be something we have in the future. ------------------------------

HaQchor and cockroaches

Some time ago, there was a discussion here about "saccharin", i.e. {HaQchor}. Here's a short story I just remember from talking with Marc Okrand which I'd like to share with you. When working on the Klingon Dictionary, Marc Okand decided to have that word in the list, because he thought about what we could have in the future, and he thought that "artificial sweetener" would certainly be something we have in the future. During that discussion, he also said that if there would be any animal that survives into that future, it would definitely be the cockroach, because they seem to survive everything. That's why it's in the list as well. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/Word/Vetlh

expressing "again we wouldn't be able"
by mayqel qunen'oS 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

Read: maSopqa' we eat again maSopqa'laH we're able to eat again maSopqa'laHbe' we aren't able to eat again maSopqa'be'laH we are able not to eat again So far so good.. Can someone tell me, how in the name of qeylIS our lord and master, I can say "again we aren't able to eat" ??? Can I say it in a single word, with the right combination of suffixes ? Or do I have to express it with multiple sentences, through context, and all that crap ? ~ bara'qa'
