As you see, I noticed that error after I posted the message. Meanwhile, I've figured out several more puns: ghuD (fellow-X, be in common, be co-X): Backwards, this sounds like "drug/droog" -- the Russian (and Nadsat) word for friend. moqlam (feldspar): Craig Feldspar was a character on Malcolm in the Middle. (Another twenty-first century TV reference!) naq (be iridescent): Nacre. qaytap (bill, act): Backwards, this is paty aq - sounds like "PATRIOT Act". Do all of you think this is it? qIrbI' (hygiene): Backwards: *'Ib rIq*. Or, "break-through the bathtub!" Qajnav (diaper): This is the pun that had me laughing out loud the most. I'm not going to spoil it for you right away, so just say it backwards, and then translate it into English, using the "ends" definition of *van*. renyarDaq (ESP): Backwards, *renyar* becomes *rayner*. Perhaps a blend of J. B. "Rhine" and "Zener" cards? romton (bracket, corbel): "Corbel" comes from a Latin word for raven, and backwards, *romton* is *not mor* = nevermore. Same basic idea as *notqa'*! ro'qa' (tonsil): This is the most sneakily clever of the puns I've cracked so far. *ro'qa'* sounds like Almond "Roca", of course . . . remember that in German, "almond" and "tonsil" are both "Mandel". Sawqe' (nugget, chunk, clump): Perhaps a reference to a clump of Mary Kay (Ash) cream or mascara?

That was my first thought for a pun. Makes it easy for me to remember too. The notes that came with {'unqal}: Maltz said that, as far as he knew, the resemblance of this word to {'un qal}, presumably "corrupt pot" (whatever that might mean), was just a coincidence. qurgh >

They were emailed to this list under the email subject of "to'qIpo'na Hol much" on August 1st. I can add the document to that page when I add all the links to the wishlist requests. I just haven't had time to do that yet with my work backlog from taking a week off along with working to mail out all the online t-shirts/coins to the virtual attendees. tugh vIchel! qurgh On Fri, Aug 11, 2023 at 11:11 AM Steven Boozer via tlhIngan-Hol < tlhingan-hol(a)lists.kli.org> wrote: > Someone mentioned that we have a few more Terran geographical names from > the qep’a’ but I didn’t see them in this document. chabal tetlhDaj > vIqawHa’’a’? > > > > Voragh > > _______________________________________________ > > *From:* tlhIngan-Hol *On Behalf Of *qurgh lungqIj via tlhIngan-Hol > *Sent:* Tuesday, August 1, 2023 11:07 PM > > rIn qep'a' wejmaHDIch. qep'a'Daq mu'mey chu' DIHev. > > > > mu'meyvam chu' DalaD DaneHchugh, > https://www.kli.org/about-klingon/new-language-information/qepa-wejmahdich-… > <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.kli.org/about-klingon/new-language-i…> > _______________________________________________ > tlhIngan-Hol mailing list > tlhIngan-Hol(a)lists.kli.org > http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org >
