favourite Klingon sentences from the newer shows?
by De'vID 06 Apr '23

06 Apr '23

Does anyone have any Klingon sentences from the newer shows that they particularly like? I know that the Klingon from the recent shows aren't composed by Marc Okrand, but they are done by expert Klingon speakers and have been much higher quality compared to the previous "Paramount Hol". Are there any sentences which illustrate a grammatical point particularly nicely, or any instances where someone used a previously ambiguous word (whether in meaning, or in grammar) and just decided to interpret it one way or another? Are there any proverbs or useful phrases which might belong in a book like The Klingon Way, if it had been published now? -- De'vID

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jInbo'

>Does anyone see any pun? The word *jInbo'* plays off the name of Jimmy "Jxmbo" Wales, founder of Wikipedia. A big issue on Wikipedia is systemic bias: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Systemic_bias The typical editor on the Wikipedia is a SWMAN -- Straight White Male Atheist Nerd -- like much of the deep Internet in general. There are some other biases: Wikipedians (on the English Wikipedia at least) tend to come from countries where English is a first language, and they're generally from the Northern Hemisphere (so describing seasons in the Southern Hemisphere often gets overlooked). In recent years, the Wikipedia collective have become more aware of their intrinsic biases in editorship and the way the whole system's set up (reliable sources are easier to find in English than in, say, Kyrgyz), and many Wikipedian of the Year awards have gone to women, ethnic minorities, and English Wikipedia editors from underrepresented countries. >Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2023 14:32:16 +0000>From: Steven Boozer <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> >To: "tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org" <tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org> >Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jInbo' > >Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, April 01, 2023 > >Klingon word: jInbo' >Part of speech: noun >Definition: bias >Source: qep'a' 28 [2021]
