-be' vs. -Ha'
by Lieven L. Litaer 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Hi, I remember a discussion and an explanation about using {-Ha'} vs. {-be'}, or am I wrong? Was it ever explained? Why is it {yIH lI'be'} instead of {yIH lI'Ha'}? I think I vaguely remember seing an answer to this, but I just can't find it. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com http://klingon.wiki/En/Rover

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: cheyIS

And here my guess was that *cheyIS* was a reference to the Star Trek episode The Chase. The request for "cephalopod" noted that cephalopods were the only non-tetrapod body plan in which intelligence had been known to develop, and Marc Okrand may have played on that request by referencing the episode that deals with the whys and wherefores of sapient species looking so much alike across the world of Star Trek (BTW, I've never seen that episode, just seen it referenced when reading stuff on the Net about the evolution of sapient life). Okrand could've turned "Chase" into either *cheS* or *cheyIS*, and *cheS* was already taken for ANOTHER type of animal, the rabbit, so that was clearly out.

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon in SyFy channel basement-dweller commercial?
by James Landau 29 Oct '23

tuquvmoH! I'm saying *tuquvmoH* instead of *choquvmoH* because both you and Todd helped. (And here's a mayqel qu'nenoS type question: Could one say *choquvmoH tIn* or *tuquvmoH tin* for "A big thank you"? Technically *choquvmoH*/*tuquvmoH* is a conjugated verb, not a noun.) So I see most of it is gibberish/nonsense. While I was looking for the basement-dweller Space Channel commercial, I found the Pizza Hut commercial. According to our wiki, it's from 1994! That explains why they don't use *pItSa' chab* for "pizza", as TalkNow! didn't come out until 2011. (They could've made a play on *Hut* by having exactly nine Klingons, however.) >Message: 5>Date: Sat, 28 Oct 2023 08:11:02 +0200 >From: "Lieven L.
