Just a short question about the word *be'*
by luis.chaparro＠web.de 14 Aug '21

14 Aug '21

In the Klingon Wiki I've found there is a pun on this word: *babe* (http://klingon.wiki/Word/Be-) I'd like to know if this is confirmed by Okrand? I've been also wondering if the homonymy with the suffix *-be'* is intentional (e.g. based on some pecularity of the Klingon culture) or just coincidental. I've found this thread here: https://www.kli.org/tlhIngan-Hol/2003/October/msg00117.html, but since it's a bit old, I don't know if we have more recent information about this. Thank you!

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon word for oil
by mayqel qunen'oS 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

James Landau: > How would you say "oil", in the sense of > petroleum, in Klingon? I'd use one of the following depending on the occasion: 'an'or nIn fossil fuel betgham 'an'or nIn liquid fossil fuel bIQSIp ghav je nIn hydrocarbon fuel betgham 'oHbogh bIQSIp ghav je nIn'e' hydrocarbon fuel which is liquid Of course the last choice is a rather long construction, but since klingon is ok with g**damn crap like the constructions one uses for full/crescent moon, then I'd consider it quite pharisaic for someone to complain.. Anyways, the way to approach a missing word is simple: You just look up for synonyms in a thesaurus, and/or you look up the word in a dictionary. Usually, a word missing in the perfect language of klingon, can be described by ideas taken from its' dictionary definition. ~ Dana'an the truth hurts, right?

positioning of je
by Lieven L. Litaer 11 Aug '21

11 Aug '21

Hello dear, I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find it. So maybe the answere is just a reference to the discusion. This is one of the few things I keep messing up all the time: TKD says {je} comes after the verb, but what if there is a subject after that verb? {mulegh je HoD} or {mulegh HoD je} My feeling says that both are correct with a different meaning, but I want to be sure. -- Lieven L.
