Maltz about jegh
by Lieven L. Litaer 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Maltz clarified the word {jegh} v. surrender, give up: This verb does not take an object. Its meaning is more along the lines of "capitulate, acquiesce, cave (in), back down, throw in the towel." For "surrender" in the sense of "relinquish, give away, let go of," use {Dergh} (which does take an object). (qepHom 2023, p. 52) Klingon Word Wiki: https://klingon.wiki/Word/Jegh https://klingon.wiki/Word/Dergh -- Lieven L.

sea vs ocean vs lake
by Lieven L. Litaer 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

The question was what is the difference between a lake and an ocean? How would one translate "sea"? Maltz said: sea is {bIQ'a'}. — A lake (ngeng) is completely surrounded by land. An ocean (bIQ'a') is a large expanse of water which may be connected to one or more other bIQ'a'mey, including smaller ones often called "seas" in English. (qepHom 2023, p. 53) Additionaly, the Black Sea was translated as {bIQ'a' qIj}. Klingon Word Wiki: https://klingon.wiki/Word/bIQ-a- -- Lieven L.

Maltz about HaSta
by Lieven L. Litaer 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Maltz clarified the word {HaSta}: {HaSta} actually means "video," that is, moving (well, usually moving) visual images. When used by itself on a ship, as part of ship's jargon, however, it refers to the "visual display" mode of a {jIH} (viewing screen). {HaSta jIH} (television) is "video viewing screen," that is, a viewing screen that displays video. (Although {HaSta jIH} literally means the television's screen alone, it is used to refer to the entire device.) {HaSta jIH much} ("television show"), frequently shortened to {HaSta much}, is based on {HaSta jIH} (not on {HaSta} alone) and refers to what is presented on the television screen (the content, not just the images).

Clarification: Can a switch be right?
by Lieven L. Litaer 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Several weeks ago, there was a discussion about the words {lugh} and {muj}, which are defined as "be right" and "be wrong". The question was if you can say "That's the right/wrong switch to turn on the light". To keep it short, the answer is NO. {lugh/muj} are only used to say that a person is doing something correctly. For the correct switch, say {leQ mIt}. You can read the full discussion at the Klingon Language Wiki here: https://klingon.wiki/En/RightAndWrong -- Lieven L.

Also *`eQQuSngew*: achoo! And *Supghew*, but that's clearly intended as a pun based on *Sup ghew* = jump[ing] flea = 'uku lele, and therefore can be said to be derived from *ghew*. >Message: 4 >Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2023 17:00:13 +0000 >From: Steven Boozer <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> >To: "tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org" <tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org> >Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] qepHom 2023 new words: {mew'} >Message-ID: > <DM6PR11MB3052AB36A638502ABBF1847BC1B4A(a)DM6PR11MB3052.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> > >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > >I believe it is.
