hard truths about the future

e This a continuation of a discussion having started at the following thread: http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2021-December/018855.ht… There I wrote: http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2021-December/018866.ht… http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2021-December/018867.ht… http://lists.kli.org/pipermail/tlhingan-hol-kli.org/2021-December/018869.ht… In this thread I'll explain in detail why I wrote what I wrote, and what exactly it is that I meant. But because a lot needs to be said, and translated in klingon too, since they don't concern grammar, I'll be gradually adding to this thread each individual post. I'm really sorry that some will be irritated, but the truth needs to be heard. t QIn tlhegh pImDaq taghpu' wa' ja'chuqghach.

"Seasons of Love" in Klingon
by James Landau 29 Dec '21

29 Dec '21

As you may recall, I had a dream a few weeks ago wherein Marc Okrand revealed a list of new disease names in Klingon, and one of them was *vaghvha'vagh* for AIDS. I told Marc about my dream, and he said it was interesting that not only do I have a dream in Klingon, but I remember it too! He couldn't figure out why "AIDS" translated to 5-2-5, and I explained that it was because RENT, a musical with many HIV+ characters, sang "525 minutes". Well, it turned out that Marc was going to see RENT performed in a few weeks! He also told me that that song had been covered in Klingon, although Marc had never seen/heard the video. I googled "klingon 'seasons of love'", and found it, then shared the video with Marc. A young lady named Rachel Bloom sings the song, with such Klingon passion evident in those H's, and the pronunciation in general. I wondered whether 525,000 tupmey were actually in a Klingon year, since they're on a different planet. Marc found this page: https://www.neatorama.com/2012/08/25/iRenti-in-Klingon/?fbclid=IwAR3Glk8rwl… That page had the answer. YouTube commenter Jordan Knight commented, as many of you who are Trekkies or otherwise experts on Klingon culture may already know, that there are 553,248 tupmey in a Klingon DIS. Those of you who consider yourself masterful Klingonists (or whom mayqel would consider experts, whatever), what do you think of Rachel's pronunciation, grammar, and usage? -HemeHe'qIS

Introducing oneself in Klingon: Beginner's question
by James Landau 29 Dec '21

29 Dec '21

I believe that in Klingon, "Hi, I'm Jim Miller" would be *Jim Miller jIH* and "Hello, my name is Kate Stewart" would be *Kate Stewart pongwIj*. Am I correct?

owl talking to poseidon
by mayqel qunen'oS 28 Dec '21

28 Dec '21

e A snowy owl talking to Poseidon. Perhaps the sacred bird of Athena is trying to explain to Him, why the athenians chose Athena as the patron of their city instead of Him. Did the bird succeed? Perhaps we'll never know. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jesse_r_gordon/51780693264/ t poseidonvaD jatlhbogh chal chuch lIr. vengchaj QanwI' le' moj athena 'e' luwIv athens rewbe', 'ej poseidon lulajQo'pu'; chaq poseidonvaD wanI'vam QIjmeH lIr, nIDtaH athena bo'Deghvam quv. tagha' Qappu''a' bo'Degh? chaq not maSov. https://www.flickr.com/photos/jesse_r_gordon/51780693264/ -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: qo'la' 'awje'

Hi mayqel. I saw your posts on the KLI mailing list. I think I might agree with you. I definitely agree we should be sticking to Okrand’s Klingon and canon Klingon and I am also concerned with where things will be going when he is gone. Would you mind to share with me the hard truths they don’t like to hear? Maybe I will agree about that too. I promise not to be offended by anything you say.
