using whistles

At qepHom 2023, we learned some words for whistles. Okrand just gave me some additions on their usage. Most of it basically was clear, but it's good to have a definite response: - These ship- or factory-type whistles cannot be "played" by a person. They're powered by some sort of energy (steam, electricity, whatever). - You can use {SuS} if you're playing a {mu'vIb}, and {'uq} is if there's no instrument/implement involved (except maybe your fingers). - The verb to activate a wall-mounted device is {chu'} (not {SuS}). This is added to the Klingon Language wiki: https://klingon.wiki/En/Whistle The full message, include my questions, can be found here: https://qephom.de/e/message_from_maltz_231215_whistles.html -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com

If emerald is a beryl and Patmore was the surname of Beryl Patmore, that's almost certainly the pun! I notice, however, that we have a request for "beryllium" currently up at the chabal tetlh. This pun on "beryl" has been taken, so Marc Okrand will need to come up with a second beryl pun as a Klingon word for beryllium? *'o'qapyt*? Perhaps, turning to another character named Beryl, Marc Okrand will use *qeyqoHan*. >Message: 3>Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2023 15:57:00 +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: patmor >Message-ID: >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > >Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, December 09, 2023 > >Klingon word: patmor >Part of speech: noun >Definition: emerald >Source: Wizard of Oz translation >_______________________________________________ > >AFAIK not used in a sentence. > >PUN: A "Downton Abbey" pun?
