Using -taH with pronouns as "to be"
by David Holt 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

I swear I posted this on the mailing list before, but when I mentioned it to someone they seemed to think I hadn't. So here it is just to be sure... At qep'a' last year (July 2019) I had a hallway conversation with Dr. Okrand where I discussed the use of the {-taH} suffix on pronouns as "to be". I pointed out that canon seemed to have a tendency to use {-taH} when the subject was mobile and leave it off when the subject was immobile, but we had not been given any rule regarding that use. He responded (with confidence and without time for consideration) that it was not a rule, but a tendency. It is not wrong to leave {-taH} off when talking about mobile objects or to add it on when talking about a mobile object, but that Maltz indeed seemed to follow the tendencies which had been pointed out. janSIy

emphasizing by asteriscs prefixes and suffixes
by mayqel qunen'oS 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

I was thinking.. If we can use asteriscs, in order to emphasize a whole word in a klingon passage, then perhaps it would be possible, to use asteriscs to emphasize a particular prefix/suffix. Examples: vIghro' tIQ Daghaj*chugh* *if* you had an ancient cat vIghro' tIQ Daghaj*laH*chugh if you were *able* to have an ancient cat vIghro' tIQ *Da*ghajlaHchugh if *you* were able to have an ancient cat (with the emphasis focusing on the you-it meaning) vIghro'*na'* tIQ vInej I search the ancient *definite* cat vIghro'na'*wIj* tIQ vInej I search *my* ancient definite cat Now.. I know, that for the purpose of emphasis, we could use the {-qu'} for verbs, and the {-'e'} for nouns. But as has been often said, the {-qu'} could be interpreted as to be emphasizing the entire preceding word with everything attached to it, and not *just* what immediately precedes it. And of course, the {-'e'} by definition, doesn't focus only on what immediately precedes it. So, perhaps, the asteriscs *could* be the way to go.. ~ mayqel qunen'oS
