{-vaD} "for the benefit of"
by Scott D. Randel 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

Lately, I have heard people translating {-vaD} as "for the benefit of." I suspect that this is meant in a grammatical sense, as the actions in sentences using that suffix do not necessarily benefit the sentence's object. I have asked several people where they learned that meaning, and all they could tell me was that they read or heard that definition long ago. TKD does not use that wording. Does anybody here translate it this way, and if so, do you know where you learned that definition? Thanks for any insight you folks have! Scott D.

expressing "unguent"
by mayqel qunen'oS 05 Nov '21

05 Nov '21

At first I read at merriam-webster: unguent (n) a soothing or healing salve: ointment. Then I pressed on the "ointment": ointment (n) a salve or unguent for application to the skin. "Thanks for nothing.." I thought.. So, I pressed on the "salve": salve (n) an unctuous adhesive substance for application to wounds or sores. And then I thought, what the hell? Are you kidding me? So I pressed on the "unctuous": unctuous (adj) a) fatty, oily b) smooth and greasy in texture or appearance. Throwing all of the above in the blender, I finally thought that perhaps I could use "paste", so I put that too in merriam-webster: paste (n) a dough that contains a considerable proportion of fat and is used for pastry crust or fancy rolls. (I've only included the relevenant merriam-webster definitions). And then I thought, that perhaps I could use "cream", because when I hear "cream" my mind goes to.. "Creams are semisolid dosage forms containing more than 20% water or volatile components and typically less than 50% hydrocarbons, waxes, or polyols as vehicles. They may also contain one or more drug substances dissolved or dispersed in a suitable cream base". (Source: Wikipedia - "Cream (pharmacy)" article). So, without a second thought, I grabbed {qulcher} (n) "cream" by the hair, which was conveniently grazing somewhere nearby, and I thought: "Good.. This will do; all I have to do is place a {Hergh} before the {qulcher} and bob's your uncle (as Americans say)". But then I put "cream" in merriam-webster, which in turn said: cream (n) a) the yellowish part of milk containing from 18 to about 40 percent butterfat b) something having the consistency of cream. especially: a usually emulsified medicinal or cosmetic preparation. And I wondered, does the Klingon {qulcher} include the "medicinal" kind? I noticed that the word for "ice cream" is {nIm qulcher taD}; not just {qulcher taD}. So, logically speaking, since the literal translation of {nIm qulcher taD} is "frozen cream of milk", then the {qulcher} isn't by definition something "made of milk". ...And perhaps it isn't by definition something which must be necessarily edible. So, for lack of a better alternative, I'm inclined to start using {Hergh qulcher}. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
