info on {quv HIja'chuqQo'}: it's an error
by De'vID 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

The following is a snippet from my discussion with Dr. Okrand about the paq'batlh. The quoted text is me, and the reply is his. > On p.156-157, there is this sentence: > > {quv HIja'chuqQo'} > > "Don't speak to me of honor!" > > > > According to TKD 6.2.4 (p.65), "The verb is made up of {ja'} /tell/, > {-chuq} /each other/; thus, /confer/ is /tell each other./" However, in TKD > 4.2.1 (p.36), it's stated of {-chuq} that "The prefix set indicating 'no > object' is used when this suffix is used." > > > > The imperative prefix {HI-} indicates an object ("me"). But if a prefix > indicating "no object" is used, then {quv} has no grammatical role and is > just left hanging in the sentence. > > > > What's going on here? Has {ja'chuq} become a lexicalised verb meaning > "discuss", which makes it possible to use with a prefix like {HI-}? Even > so, the prefix is apparently incompatible with the object. Is this an > example of the "prefix trick", on top of {ja'chuq} being a lexicalised > verb? That is, if the sentence had been {quv HIjatlhQo'}, it could've been > a shorthand for {jIHvaD quv yIjatlhQo'}. > > > > There's something strange that's going on with this sentence that I > think requires clarification. > > >>> I think rather than clarification it requires revision. I think the > verb {ja'chuq}, glossed in TKD as "discuss, confer," was used > inappropriately here. The "discuss" that {ja'chuq} is used for is when > there are two (or more) people talking to each other, a back-and-forth > conversation. In the sentence in the paq'batlh, no discussion of this kind > is going on. Molor is just telling Kahless not to do something; Kahless > doesn't come back with a counterargument. Since there's no discussing (or > conferring) going on, {ja'chuq} is the wrong verb. > I can confirm this sentence is an error and will be changed in the 2nd edition. -- De'vID

Is anyone from the KLI interested in contributing to the paq'batlh 2ed?
by De'vID 14 Oct '20

14 Oct '20

The editors have asked me to relay to the KLI that they would like someone to write "a text concerning the paq'batlh and its place in Klingon literature" to put in the introductory section of the second edition. I sent a message to Dr. Schoen a while back but haven't heard anything, so if anyone else would like to do this, please let me know by email. -- De'vID
