rIntaH and be-verbs
by mayqel qunen'oS 03 Feb '20

03 Feb '20

The way I understand {rIntaH}, it is to be used with action verbs e.g. kill, attack, try, hunt, etc. And even then, it is *only* to be used, when the action is intentional. Meaning, that we *can* say {SuvwI' luHoH rIntaH jaghpu'}, but we *cannot* say {loD luHoH rIntaH pumpu'bogh naghmey} "the rocks which fell killed the man". Of course, I may be wrong, and if I am, then please *do* correct me.. However, recently I begun to wonder, whether one could use {rIntaH} with be-verbs. For example, could we say something like the following ? taQ rIntaH DevwI' the leader is strange ~ mayqel qunen'oS

New Words from DIS 2889
by Jackson Bradley 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

Hello, all! As some of you may have noticed, this month's edition of 'eSrIv contains a number of new words used to translate DIS 2889 (In the Year 2889) by Jules Verne. >From Dr. Okrand: "Mars and Jupiter have two names, as do other planets in our solar system. There's the "scientific" name and the nickname that the Klingons learned after encountering and engaging with Terrans. In talking with Terrans, or in Terran-y contexts, the nicknames are more common. With the nickname first: "Mars" - {marIS} {Sol loS} "Jupiter" - {ju'pIter} {Sol vagh} "waterfall" is {bIQ notron} {notron} is "curtain, drape," but it can also be used for things like a door or gate that opens and closes vertically, like a portcullis. ---- Niagara {nayeghra} Paris {parIy} Boston {baStan} Philadelphia {vIlaDelvIya'} Washington, DC {wa'SIngtanDIySIy} (I don't know how this works in what you're translating, but in normal, day-to-day Klingon conversation, the {DIySIy} is never left off. Let me know if anybody refers to the District of Columbia or to "DC" by itself, without the "Washington" part.) Bosporus {boSporoS} For tens of millions, you have a choice. 30,000,000 could be {wejmaH'uy'}, as you suggest, or it could be {wejvatlhbIp}. Either is fine, and the choice would probably be determined by what other (big) numbers were being mentioned in the same context. If no other numbers are around, flip a coin." Additionally, when I asked him what the most appropriate way of saying "read aloud" (e.g. a book), he said that *paq mu'(mey) jatlh* would work fine. Maltz, we thank you!!
