Mailing List Archives
by Riley Dosh 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

I'm doing a search of the mailing list through the KLI archive, but ran into two problems. First, it ends at 2015 (because it migrated to a new server) with no clear location for later archives. Are these later archives searchable, and if so, where? Secondly, the search engine used for the archive doesn't accept words if they're too short or common. I realize this may be useful when ignoring common words like "and" but it severely hinders my ability to search short keywords. Does anyone know a way to bypass this? -ray'lI' DoS

hellenic gods - giants introduction part 9
by mayqel qunen'oS 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

en *Polybotes* - According to Apollodorus, he was crushed under Nisyros, a piece of the island of Kos broken off and thrown by Poseidon. He is named on two sixth century BC pots, on one (Getty 81.AE.211) he is opposed by Zeus, on the other (Louvre E732) he is opposed by Poseidon carrying Nisyros on his shoulder. *Porphyrion* - According to Apollodorus, he was (along with Alcyoneus), the greatest of the Giants. He attacked Heracles and Hera but Zeus "smote him with a thunderbolt, and Hercules shot him dead with an arrow". According to Pindar, who calls him "king of the Giants", he was slain by an arrow from the bow of Apollo. He is named on a late fifth century BC cup from Vulci (Berlin F2531), where he is battling with Zeus. He was also probably named on the late sixth century BC Siphnian Treasury. *Thoas* (or Thoon?) - According to Apollodorus, he was killed by the Moirai (Fates) with bronze clubs. tlh *polybotes* - *kos* ‘ambay ‘ay’ wItlhpu’ *poseidon* (‘ay’vamvaD *nisyros* ponglu’), *polybotes*Daq *nisyros* vo’pu’ *poseidon*, ‘ej *giant*vam tappu’ *kos* ‘ambay ‘ay’vam ‘e’ SovmoH *apollodorus*. vatlh DIS poH javDIch (bov vorgh) cha’ juH lo’ ngaSwI’ tu’lu’, ‘ej ngaSwI’meyvamDaq *polybotes* pong tu’lu’: wa’Daq (*getty* 81.*ae*.211) *giant*vam qaD *zeus*, ‘ej latlhDaq ( *louvre* *e*732) *polybotes* qaD volchaHDajDaq *nisyros* qengbogh *poseidon* . *porphyrion* - *porphyrion* (*alcyoneus* je) Dun law’ Hoch *giants* Dun puS ‘e’ SovmoH *apollodorus*. *hera* *heracles* je HIvpu’ *porphyrion*, ‘ach pe’vIl *giant*vam qIpmeH *zeus*, wa’ pe’bIl lo’pu’, ‘ej ghaHDaq wa’ naQjejHom baHpu’mo’ *heracles*, HoHpu’. *porphyrion*vaD *giants* voDleH pong je *pindar*, ‘ej *giant*vam HoHpu’ wa’ *apollo* HurwI’ naQjejHom, jatlhpu’ ghuQ qonwI’vam.

maS'e' loQ So'be'bogh QIb
by mayqel qunen'oS 11 Jun '21

11 Jun '21

There's the {maS'e' loQ So'be'bogh QIb} for the meaning of "crescent moon". In this construction however, I can't understand the rationale (*if* there's one to start with..), as a result of which the {maS'e'} precedes the {loQ}. Since a {-bogh} phrase is essentially a baby-sentence, it follows the rules of the grown-up sentences; in tkd we read: "The adverbial may actually follow the object noun (but still precede the verb) when the object noun is topicalized by means of the noun suffix {-'e'}". And then it proceeds by the example of {HaqwI' 'e' DaH yISam} "Find the SURGEON now!" As a result of this example, I was under the impression that the "adverbial following the object noun" is something usually taking place in cases of emergency/distress. But what's the emergency/distress in a moon that is crescent? ~ Dana'an

skybox 3 and {De'} data information singular or plural
by mayqel qunen'oS 10 Jun '21

10 Jun '21

On/in/at SkyBox 3 there's the following: 'ejyo' luch rurbe'qu' tlhIngan Duj luch. HoS law'qu' luch law'qu' je lo' Duj nuH pat Hub pat je. motlh ray' luSamlaHmeH De' Qatlh cha' tlhIngan Duj jIH'a'. motlh pIm 'ejyo' Dujmey. Klingon starship design is vastly different from Starfleet technology. A huge amount of the ship's power and technology is devoted to its weapons grid and defensive systems. Unlike most Starfleet vessels, the main viewer on a Klingon ship is usually overlaid with a complex target acquisition grid. (I wrote on/in/at, since I have no idea what the jay' SkyBox 3 is, nor do I give a crap to find out either). Anyways.. If I understand this Ca'Non sentence correctly, the {ray' luSamlaHmeH De' Qatlh} is a construction where there's the {-meH}'ed noun of {luSamlaHmeH De' Qatlh} with the {De' Qatlh} being meant as "difficult/complex informations", and in turn, the {luSamlaHmeH De' Qatlh} has as its' object the {ray'}. If the way I understand this is correct, then this shows that a {-meH}'ed noun can take an object, and that the {De'} "data, information" can be pluralized. ~ Dana'an one day Apollo will return to stay forever
