Metaphor and Metonymy
by Lieven L. Litaer 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

Hi, I just started a page in the Klingon.wiki listing metaphorically used words and also metonyms. Okrand did not name them as such, and I noticed ther are others that fit in such alist which were not explicitally label as such, like {Soj} meaning "matter, affair" instead of "food". Then I noticed that many of the idioms use (or are) metaphors, so it kind of overlaps. Now come the questions... 1. Did anyone ever make such a compilation already? 2. Would you understand and/or accept words taken from idioms in a different context, like if I use {Ha'quj} without the verb {nge'} - would you know I talk about somebody's pride? (Well, KGT says that phrases outside of context would only be understood literally, but I'd ask anyway.) 3. Some idioms consist of only a noun phrase, like {naH jajmey}. Wouldn't that also be a metonymy? See the page here: http://klingon.wiki/En/Metaphor -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com

'ar in "to be" constructions
by mayqel qunen'oS 18 Jun '20

18 Jun '20

Suppose I write: 1) jaghpu'na'ma' chaH qama' 'ar'e' ? or 2) jaghpu'na'ma' chaH qama''e' 'ar ? for "how many prisoners are our true enemies ?" And suppose I write: 3) jaghna'ma' 'ar chaH qama'pu''e' ? for "as for the prisoners, how many are our true enemies ?" First, do we know with regards to the sentences 1 & 2 whether the {-'e'} should be placed on the {qama'pu'} or on the {'ar} ? And other than that, is there anything wrong with the above sentences (1, 2, & 3) ? ~ qa'yIn
