the "be damaged" meaning of rIQ
by mayqel qunen'oS 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

The verb {rIQ} has two meanings: 1. be injured 2. be damaged And we see the "be damaged" meaning in the following Ca'Non sentence: Dumer DIvI' QaS 'ej DuHIv, vaj bIwunchoH 'ej bIrIQchoH Surprise attack by Federation leaves you unprotected and damaged. MKE What I'm wondering (since I don't know the context of the Ca'Non sentence in question) is this: Can we use the {rIQ} for inanimate objects too (e.g. buildings, vessels, etc) meaning that they are damaged, or does the mke sentence refer to the physical body of the player which has been damaged i.e. injured? ~ Dana'an remain klingon

Maltz about vaccines and vaccination
by Lieven L. Litaer 28 Feb '21

28 Feb '21

Today I received a message from Maltz regarding the way of talking about vaccines and vaccination. The message is archived on qepHom.de and in the Klingon Language Wiki. http://www.qephom.de/e/message_from_maltz_210228_vaccination.html http://klingon.wiki/Word/JavtImRaS-IS - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Maltz thought that {javtIm raS'IS} could be used for "vaccine," adding that it's really a shortened form of {javtIm ngeb raS'IS} but, in context, nobody gets confused (except anti-vaxxers). Use of the term {raS'IS} is a holdover from ancient forms of medicine. This noun is typically the object of the verb {SIQ} when you talk about getting or receiving a vaccine. For administering the vaccine, you still hear the verb {poch}, as in {javtIm raS'IS poch Qel}. One could also say {javtIm raS'IS pochmeH Hergh QaywI' lo' Qel}. But it's more common to say simply {javtIm raS'IS Qay Qel}, since, in a medical context, the verb {Qay} normally implies that a {Hergh QaywI'} was involved. (As a side note: Maltz pointed out to me that the Klingon pronunciation of the word "zoom" would be {Sum}, which is an apt name for the app.) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Lieven L.

literal meaning of the {net jalchugh}
by mayqel qunen'oS 23 Feb '21

23 Feb '21

Suppose I write: SuvwI'na' SoH net jalchugh, vaj bISuvqang. There are two options with regards to this sentence. Option A: The literal meaning of this sentence is "if you were a true warrior, you'd be willing to fight". Option B: The literal meaning of the sentence is "if one imagines that you're a true warrior, you're willing to fight". In option A, the {net jalchugh} gives to the sentence the literal meaning of irrealis. In option B, there's no irrealis as far as the literal translation of the sentence is concerned, but we read and understand it as irrealis because maltz said so. So what's the correct option? ~ Dana'an remain klingon

Once and for all we will open the gates, lay low the ramparts. tlh: pinhead: qo'raj wI'eltaHvIS, not rav 'echlet Qarghmey chIqbogh vetlh DIDanISqa'.. lojmIt'a' DIpoSmoH, 'ej DIpoSmoHta'DI', not DIpoSnISqa'moH; veH DI'eSmoH. ~ Dana'an lay low the ramparts
