Discord ghogh qepHom
by De'vID 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Going through the mailing list archives, I see several references to "the Discord server", but no link to the actual server and no explanation. So maybe some people who might otherwise participate just don't know what it is or are put off by the idea of learning new software or whatever and it might be helpful to describe it. Discord was originally a voice/text chat app for gamers, so people could communicate in multiplayer online games. In the same way that MUDs/MUSHes (if you know what those are) were often repurposed to be just virtual places people could meet to discuss various subjects, Discord has also developed communities of people who use it for purposes other than gaming. The KLI MUSH has basically been replaced by the KLI Discord. The client software is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and you can also connect online using a browser. There's a fairly active community of Klingon speakers on Discord. You can find your way there through this KLI page: https://www.kli.org/members-only/discord-chat-server/ Discord has very good VoIP capabilities, and some of us have been having semi-regular {ghogh qepHommey}. There's supposed to be a regular session on Saturdays (afternoon in the Americas, evening Europe), though you could just voice chat with someone if they're available. I wanted to introduce Discord to more people because people often complain that they can't make it to a physical {qep'a'}/{qepHom} due to expense/distance/time/etc., whereas Discord doesn't cost anything. Also, while one can learn using Duolingo or Memrise, or by writing stories or discussing grammar on this mailing list or Facebook, there's something to having a real-time voice conversation in Klingon which exercises skills which can't be developed by other means. (It was on a Discord voice chat that I stumbled on to my "almost a year ago" problem.) -- De'vID

Klingon game on Discovery
by Lieven L. Litaer 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

A few days ago, Star Trek Discovery Designer Tamara Deverell has shared some drawings of the Klingon game tISang and also for the used currency. So if anyone needs a new task for their 3D-printer, here we go. https://twitter.com/OntarioDGC/status/1093994981168160768 Few information on the words can be found in the Wiki, but that needs some more input: http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/TISang -- Lieven L.

L'Rell's treaty [minor SPOILERS included]
by Lieven L. Litaer 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

I have just deciphered L'Rell's treaty she was forced to sign in episode 2.03 of DSC. Some of the letters were very hard to read, others almost entirely covered. You may go to the Klingon wiki if you like to make corrections on it. See: http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/DSC203 Here's what I could make of it: 1 qaStaHvIS During 2 [moHDu']wIj 'ej my [...] and 3 [mot]taHvIS yaQwIj, while my [yaQ?] [...] 4 QInvam vIqonlI' jIH , I am writing this message, 5 mo'qay tuq lIr'el .

Is {Sal} a verb of movement ?
by mayqel qunenoS 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

This came up while I was writing another message earlier today.. Is {Sal} (v) "ascend", to be treated as the verbs of movement ? If I'm on earth and begin ascending to the sky, what do I say ? {chal vIlSal} or {chalDaq jISal} ? ~ mayqel *I love maltz* qunen'oS

How are these two different ?
by mayqel qunenoS 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

I want to say "In order that you help me, you expect that I beg you". Option number one: {muQaHmeH qaqoy', 'e' DapIH} Option number two: {qaqoy', muQaHmeH 'e' DapIH} Is there any significant difference between the two ? Should I choose one over the other for some reason ? ~ mayqel *I love maltz* qunen'oS

Context of {bang}
by mayqel qunenoS 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

We have the noun {bang} "love, one who is loved". So, it means two things: "the love" (noun), and "the person who is loved" (as in "you are my love"). As far as the noun "the love" is concerned, what kind of "love" is it ? Romantic ? Sexual ? "Innocent" as in between parents and children ? Or all of the above ? ~ mayqel *I love maltz* qunen'oS
