using an entire sao as a {-bogh} phrase
by mayqel qunen'oS 20 Apr '22

20 Apr '22

This isn't something I'd actually do, but I'm wondering whether it would be actually correct. I want to say "the officer who wants us to defect is a traitor". Or "the officer who plans that we defect is a traitor". So I write: maghwI' ghaH macheH neHbogh yaS'e' maghwI' ghaH macheH 'e' nabbogh yaS'e' Are the above correct? -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ

Does anybody know about a book entitled “300 Ways to Ask the Four Questions” by Spiegel & Stein, and page 348, which has a six items written in pIqaD, then Romanized Klingon, then English? A friend sent me a scan of this one page. It’s rife with typos and strained translations, and with an exception or two seems to have just copied and pasted the Romanized text and changed to the pIqaD font (so {tlh} is spelled {t} {l} {H}, and {ch} is spelled {chH}, and {gh} is spelled {ghH} and every typo is replicated), and it claims to have been written by Mark Shoulson, though I find it hard to believe that Seqram could have done this so badly. [I did see one {Hoch} that wasn’t spelled {HochH} in pIqaD.] My guess is that someone sent him the English, he dictated the translations and someone else wrote them down (with typos), then copied, pasted, and changed the font, and Mark didn’t have any opportunity to review or edit. I acknowledge that I’ve gotten rusty at Klingon and have not kept up with much of the newer stuff, but I refuse to believe that a person with Mark’s skill level could ever plunge to these depths, without some corrupting link between his work and the published page. I was surprised that I could still read pIqaD. It’s been so long since I’d tried... pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)

sacredtextsinklingon acknowledgements page

e When I came here almost seven years ago, I wasn't able to write even "my name is .." in Klingon. And now, although there's still so much to learn and many ways in which I need to improve, I'm able to write anything I like, even if it is as complex as the translations of the sacredtextsinklingon site. And this is something which has been made possible by those who have been constantly guiding me in this language through the years. So, in order to express my gratitude, I just added an acknowledgements section. https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/acknowledgements/ Thank you all. I'm truly grateful t Soch ben naDev vIpawpu' (pupHa' mI'vam), 'ej naDev vIpawpu'DI', Holvam vIjatlhlaHbe'chu'mo', vabDot jIjatlhlaHbe' {... 'oH pongwij'e'}.

Vocabulary request
by Will Martin 18 Apr '22

18 Apr '22

As a Friend of Maltz, I was offered a chance to ask Maltz for a vocabulary word. I shied away from the responsibility of coming up with a word to add to the Klingon vocabulary and instead took the opportunity to pass along the request for the words “top” and “bottom” that someone else had suggested. It seemed fundamental and worthy of addition, and I could not come up with anything that could be as useful for the language. Decades have passed, and I’ve always been content to have played my part at getting that request from the community to Maltz, rather than come up with something else, myself. Today, I had my Eureka moment. The Klingon language needs a word for “context”. Anything beyond that statement that I could add should be self-evident. pItlh charghwI’ ‘utlh (ghaH, ghaH, -Daj)
