Sound of o
by SuStel 29 Jun '20

29 Jun '20

According to the Klingon Wiki, TKD describes the letter*o*as in "go or mosaic". This is confusing, because English speakers would do that with a diphthong, rhyming "go" with "glow" and saying "mosaic" like "mow-saic". This is not what Okrand intended. He just wanted to make clear that it's not o like in "cop" or "pot". The sound still is a clear "o" without a following u sound. The word*qepHom <http://klingon.wiki/bin/view/En/QepHom>*should NOT rhyme with "home". ORLY? Where does this revelation come from? TKD says that *o* sounds exactly the same as *ow* — meaning it's a diphthong that sounds exactly the same as American English /go./ -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

sao and to be sentences

Suppose we write: romuluS wo' wIQaw'chu' 'e' 'oHbe' ngoQmaj'e' our goal isn't to annihilate the romulan empire Would there be a problem with a construction as the above ? On one hand, I can't be able to see anything grammatically wrong with it, on the other hand though, it seems rather strange seeing before the {'oHbe'} the {'e'}. One would expect for this slot to be able to accept only nouns. ~ Qa'yIn

expressing "the following words are written in random order"
by mayqel qunen'oS 26 Jun '20

26 Jun '20

I've wondered how to say "the following words are written in random order". And I found two ways to say it: Suppose that we'll talk about a specific group of words, which will appear in sentence, like "I like spaghetti, pizza, steaks, and hamburgers". Perhaps, before this sentence we could say one of the following. chIchHa' mu'tlhegh vebDaq Hoch Soj (mu') Daq vIwIvpu'. The location of each word at the following sentence has been selected unintentionally. or mu'tlhegh vebDaq Haw Hoch Soj (mu') Daq. At the next sentence the place of each word is random. Of course, the thing to wonder would be whether the word {Daq} could be used to express "the specific place in the sentence which is occupied by a word", and I could have sworn that we had a noun {lan} meaning "place" in the general sense, but I checked and the only thing that we have is the verb {lan} for "to place". So, for lack of a better alternative, I'd use {Daq} anyway. ~ Qa'yIn

Because there are laws, people should choose their words carefully
by mayqel qunen'oS 25 Jun '20

fse: Some people don't seem to understand one important fact. In western civilized countries there are laws, laws which protect someone from people wrongfully accusing him/her of things he/she's not. There are laws in place which protect an individual's dignity and reputation. And while there is no law which punishes rudeness, there *are* laws which punish severely someone who writes in public that a person is.. or that the person in question writes sentences which are.. And when the victim of such behavior sues, then the one sued usually ends up paying for a very long time. This must be kept in mind by people thinking that they have the right to harass and publicly accuse others. tlh: wa' ngoD potlhqu' luyajbe'law' 'op nuv. tIng 'ev SepmeyDaq chutmey tu'lu'; nuv chun pumbe'lu'meH 'ej nuvvam QanmeH qum, chutmeyvam tu'lu'.
