There's the Ca'Non: Qu' buSHa'chugh SuvwI', batlhHa' vangchugh, qoj matlhHa'chugh, pagh ghaH SuvwI''e' If a warrior ignores duty, acts dishonorably, or is disloyal, he is nothing Now suppose I write: HoSbogh Suvqangbogh 'ej matlhbogh vay' someone who is strong willing to fight and loyal Quchbogh Do'bogh vay' 'ej quvmoHlu'bogh. someone who is happy, fortunate and honored According to the Ca'Non sentence, I think that the above are correct, since the Ca'Non sentence shows that only one {'ej} is necessary. But am I right? Are the above indeed correct? -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ

SetqIn
by Lieven L. Litaer 17 Jul '22

17 Jul '22

On the discord channel, there were questions about the difference between {'e' qa'} and {SetqIn}. To clarifiy the meaning of the new word that appeared in Klingon "Alice in Wonderland", they asked me to publish the entire discussion that led to the word, as it is not published in the book. My request was: "this time" – this expression appears very often, and I'm not sure how to render it. It's used to express things like "I failed my exams five times, but this time, I'm sure I will pass." – "I returned to Paris, and this time, the Eiffeltower was not closed." The word {DaH} seems to vague for me. Okrand answered: <<< Depending on context and the exact meaning of the phrase, you can use DaH, SIbI', tugh, ghIq, or ngugh. You can also use the idiomatic expression pumDI' "by that time, by the time that (something happened)." DaH doesn't necessarily refer to the moment of speaking. If you're talking about something in the past, it could refer to a moment in the past. English "now" works the same way: "We had been studying for weeks and now we were finally ready to take the test." I suspect that sometimes, depending on context, you may be able to leave the "this time" out altogether. The meaning may change somewhat, but perhaps not significantly: "I'm tired of always having rice; give me a potato this time" could be just "I'm tired of always having rice; give me a potato." "She wanted to eat some ice cream. She liked all of the flavors the store had, but she chose chocolate (this time)." (If the meaning does change significantly, of course, this is not a good technique.) Or you can just use the adverbial SetqIn "alternatively, instead, rather" or jaS "differently." >>> This is archived at http://klingon.wiki/Word/SetkIn -- Lieven L.

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] thoughts on the perfective {-pu'}

Dana'an: > Yes, you're right. And unfortunately, as much as I try to get things right, > in the end I get confused. I don't know much about Modern Greek, but I think you distinguish between imperfective and perfective in the past with παρατατικός (imperfective) and αόριστος (perfective). I'm sure that's not the same as in Klingon, but for me the difference between imperfective and perfective in Spanish has been a great help, and I just try to keep a note of the cases where it doesn't match the Klingon. Doesn't it work with Modern Greek?
