at the outskirts of the city
by mayqel qunen'oS 26 Jul '20

26 Jul '20

fse: There they located her, at the outskirts of armenelos, elves sent by the valar. And as soon as they surrounded her, they said: "The word of your transgressions at the temple, has traversed the western sea all the way to valinor, up to the throne of manwe himself; there you're summoned. There you'll account for your actions, before the guardians of arda". Hearing these words, she didn't care to look at them; still, lowering her hood she looked to the sky, and while the sclera of her eyes turned to black, she said: "Father, never again has arda been walked by a spirit more violent, more aggressive, never again has arda been walked by a spirit more evil, more hateful, never again has arda been walked by a spirit more in love with vice for the sake of vice itself, than the one who deliberately channels Your strength". "Even now.." -said the elves- "even now when the hour of your final judgement has drawn near, you insist on defiling middle earth with these foul words". It was then when she turned her gaze upon them, beginning to clench her fist and saying - more of a whisper to herself, than a reply to the elves - "and the flesh will always display the traits of the spirit". It was then when some of the elves drew their bows against her. It was then when the rest of them closed in, in order to seize her. And it was a short time later, when she walked away, her boots trampling on the elves' dismembered broken bodies. tlh: pa' be' luSamta'; armenelos veHmey HopDaq be' luSamta' *elves*'e' ngeHpu'bogh valar.

naH in fruit names 'oQqar in vegetable names

'epIl naH ghIrep naH Sutra'ber naH but.. tera' na'ran tera' na'ran'a' tanje'rIn and.. 'anyan 'oQqar gharlIq 'oQqar andl let's not forget tlhagh patat 'oQqar naQHom With regards to the fruits, I can't understand the rationale by which some fruits have the {naH} and some don't. Does this mean that while we can say {tanje'rInmey Soppu' qeSHoS}, we can't just say {'epIlmey Soppu' qeSHoS} ? Do we *need* to add the {naH} too, thus writing {'epIl naHmey Soppu' qeSHoS} ? Similarly, if we want to say "the chef put french fries next to the steak". Can't we just say {Ha'DIbaH baylaD retlhDaq tlhagh patat naQHommey lanpu' vutwI'} ? Do we *need* to add the {'oQqar} too, thus writing {Ha'DIbaH baylaD retlhDaq tlhagh patat 'oQqar naQHommey lanpu' vutwI'} ? ~ Qa'yIn

why aren't there any blood-sucking insects on Qo'noS ?
by mayqel qunen'oS 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Every summer, the same thought crosses my mind.. It's strange maltz hasn't ever talked (as far as I know) about any kind of blood-sucking kronos insects. I'd expect there to be mosquitos being able to suck you dry in a single sip. ~ Qa'yIn

what exactly is a gho
by mayqel qunen'oS 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

The noun {gho} is given as "circle, hoop". >From the first time I used klingon in my life till today, i.e. for the past five years, I never gave any attention to the "hoop" definition, thinking that "hoop" is just another english word for "circle". But for some go figure reason, some time ago I merriam-webstered the word "hoop", and I went ?!?! since I discovered that: ****** hoop noun, often attributive \ ˈhüp also ˈhu̇p \ Definition of hoop (Entry 1 of 2) 1 : a circular strip used especially for holding together the staves of containers or as a plaything 2 a : a circular figure or object : RING b : the rim of a basketball goal broadly : the entire goal 3 : a circle or series of circles of flexible material used to expand a woman's skirt 4 : BASKETBALL —usually used in plural ****** (I didn't post "Entry 2 of 2", since it has to do with the verb "hoop") Here's the link too: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hoop?utm_campaign=sd&utm_medium=… Do the above definitions mean that we can use the {gho} for any kind of ring-like circular object ? For example could we write the following ? SIyechmey pochHa'pu'DI', SIyechmeyvamvaD Dojmey mojmoHmeH wIjwI'pu', ghomey lo'pu' as soon as they unplanted the canes, the farmers used hoops to make bundles out of them ~ Qa'yIn
