Apposition in the *paq'batlh*
by luis.chaparro＠web.de 22 Oct '23

*qatlh ngemDaq ghaHtaH molor Duy'e' marqagh puqloD’e’ Hop juHlIj nov* What is an envoy of Molor, Son of Markag, doing in these woods? You are far away from home, stranger. (paq'yav 3, 1-3) Maybe I'm understanding this wrong, but wouldn't that mean that the envoy is the son of Markag? Since *'e'* gives us the reference for *ghaHtaH*, *ghaHtaH* = *molor Duy'* and *ghaHtaH* = *marqagh puqloD*: He is an envoy of Molor and he is the son of Markag. Shouldn't it have been something like *molor marqagh puqloD Duy'e'*? Or maybe *molor Duy'e' marqagh puqloD Duy'e'*? By the way: A bit later we see *molor QaS HoS* for *The men of mighty Molor*. Why isn't it *molor HoS QaS*? Thank you for your help!

We have a request for "sperm" at the chabal tetlh, so we'll be able to say *[sperm] vuj*. Until then, *ghuch* is the best we can do. So we've got most of the body function words. majQa'!

stitch vs. sew
by Lieven L. Litaer 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Hello dear Klingonists, at the qepHom words wish list, somebody asked for a word for "to sew". I searched for that, and noticed that we have a verb {QIS} of which I thought it has that meaning, at least it does so in German. So I wondered: What is the difference between "stitch" and "sew", if there is any? -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com http://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepa27
