Re: [tlhIngan Hol] to roar in crescendo with verbs

DI'onmeyna'Daj 'agh 'aghqu' 'aghchu' is grammatical and has three clauses. What SuStel meant is that the interpretation where all verbs are part of the same sentence is not grammatical (I'm not sure why that is relevant). Punctiation of Klingon is arbitrary and voluntary. Sometimes Okrand doesn't punctuate at all. It is grammatical and correct to not punctuate. However, for clarity, it is a good principle to use commas and periods when appropriate. In this case, «DI'onmeyna'Daj 'agh, 'aghqu', 'aghchu'»would make clear that the verbs form different sentences (and are indeed verbs and not nouns/names, which one could think if assuming that they are all part of one clause).

to roar in crescendo with verbs
by mayqel qunen'oS 18 Feb '22

18 Feb '22

Yesterday I wanted to say "no one really changes while getting older; with the passage of time people just display more what they really are". But when I came to the "with the passage of time people just display more what they really are", the problem was that since I was writing this on twitter, there was a character limit, so I needed to keep it short. And it was then when the "roar in crescendo" Ca'Non came to mind: {beyHom bey bey'a' jachtaH}; so I wrote: qanchoHtaHvIS nuv, choHbe'; not choHbej vay'. 'a qaStaHvIS yInDaj DISmey, DI'onmeyna'Daj 'agh 'aghqu' 'aghchu' So here comes the question.. Would the {qaStaHvIS yInDaj DISmey, DI'onmeyna'Daj 'agh 'aghqu' 'aghchu'} be appropriate for this purpose? I can't see anything grammatically wrong with it. -- Dana'an https://sacredtextsinklingon.wordpress.com/ Ζεὺς ἦν, Ζεὺς ἐστίν, Ζεὺς ἔσσεται· ὦ μεγάλε Ζεῦ
