On Klingon colours: Is the Klingon vision bichromatic?
by Michael Kúnin 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

It occurred to me that while the human colour vision is trichromatic, i.e., every colour can be represented as a three-dimensional point (Red,Green, Blue), the Klingon colour vision might well be bichromatic with just two dimensions, {Doq} and {SuD}. In this case, all colours Klingons distinguish can be represented as the following picture: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/235416538927202304/61779334843387086… Here I mapped the (Doq,SuD) Klingon colour to the (Doq,SuD,SuD) RGB colour to avoid the difficulty of getting white from combining red and green in RGB, but Klingons would see a (100%,100%) colour as white. So on the picture we see {qIj}, {chIS}, {Doq}, and {SuD} at the corners, the colours close to black are {Hurgh}, the ones close to white are {wov}, the ones away from the grey diagonal are {chum}, and the ones close to that diagonal are {tlhoD}. Also, we learnt a few days ago that {qalmuS} is used to distinguish colour from black-and-white. Otherwise, if Klingons are bichromatic, then they would see any non-greyscale colour as either a variety of {Doq} or a variety of {SuD}, so it is not much possible to use colour as a defining attribute of an object. No wonder they are irritated by other species making distinctions where they see none! I wonder if there is a Klingon word meaning "be grey".

color entry at kli.org
by mayqel qunen'oS 03 Sep '19

At the new words list of kli.org, at the entry of {qalmuS} for "color", there is a capital N, as is found next to names of cities, countries. Is it just a typo, or am I missing something ? ~ ckckcc

New Klingon Language Wiki section: "WORD"
by Lieven L. Litaer 03 Sep '19

03 Sep '19

Hi, I've added a new section to the Klingon Language Wiki which explains the meaning and usage of Klingon words. That section is not intended as lookup dictionary, it's more as an archive of canonical information about words. It's still in BETA version, since I need to do some clean up, but you can already watch and edit what you want. There are only two minor technical issues in there, [case sensitivity and apostrophes] but those can not be solved, so don't bother; I found an adequate solution. Look at some example pages right here, and feel fee to make additions. Just note that editing in this section is a bit more complicated than in the main wiki, but don't be afraid, you can't break it. List of pages: http://www.klingonwiki.net/Word/WebTopicList Examples of long pages: http://www.klingonwiki.net/Word/Chegh http://www.klingonwiki.net/Word/PIm http://www.klingonwiki.net/Word/WeQmoQnaQ Example page: http://www.klingonwiki.net/Word/HELP -- Lieven L.

Hello all! Today I would like to introduce the PDF file of a little artzine that I'll be putting out monthly and which I'm calling *'eSrIv*! You'll probably notice it's mostly just me and Hugh who have contributed to the content at this point, but please do feel free to send any ideas for articles, poems, short stories, drawings, recipes, etc. to ghoboQ(a)gmail.com, and I'll be sure to include them next month, provided the Klingon is grammatically correct. Also, if you want a physical copy or the Printout version sent to you, shoot me an email at that same address! Any criticism, critiques, and/or advice is of course welcome! yItIv!
