{-be'} on {-lu'}.. seriously ?
by mayqel qunenoS 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Recently, I saw in a sentence written by an expert the {-be'} used on {-lu'}. I won't say who wrote it, nor will I quote the exact sentence, since these details are of no importance. Suffice it to say, that it was on a transitive verb (not that if the verb was intransitive, it would make any difference). So, I was wondering how on earth, this sentence could be correct. If I wrote {Soplu'be'}, then what would this mean ? "not someone unspecified eats" ? And if I want to say "not someone unspecified eats", then why not just write {Sop (subject)} ? I can understand, writing {tu'lu'be'}, since {tu'lu'} is considered to be some kind of "fixed phrase". And I can understand too, that there are indications that a rover applies to the entire word, and not just whatever directly precedes it. But I find it wrong, someone based on the {tu'lu'be'}, and some vague indications with regards to the nature of the rover, to go on and write something like {Soplu'be'}. An expert should write as an expert; unless he/she write only for themselves. But if you are an expert, and are writing something which will be seen and read by other people, then you have to respect the readers and follow the damn rules. Expert is one thing, however *expert*qoq is another. The actions of the individual, determine the category to which he/she belongs. ~ nI'ghma

Context of {-Daq}
by mayqel qunenoS 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

There is something, which I'm wondering with regards to the {-Daq}. Unfortunately though, in order to describe it, I need to write a ridiculous example. Assume I want to say, "I give DuraS the middle finger". Initially, it came to me to write: {DuraSDaq qaywI' vI'agh}. However, this phrase gives me the impression that someone has mounted DuraS, and there -on DuraS-, he displays the middle finger. So, I'm wondering whether this assumption is correct. Or could {-Daq} indeed be used to convey the intended meaning ? I *feel* that it is more appropriate to say {DuraSvaD qaywI' vI'agh}. Although since I'm not certain, if anyone could shed some light on the matter, it would be great. ~ nI'ghma

DIvI'
by Lieven L. Litaer 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

I just noticed a possible pun in the word {DIvI'}. (or at least a way to remember) We know that in the first phase of the creation of Klingon words, some phrases were back fit to the lips movement of already filmed scenes in English. Well, {DIvI'} perfectly matches "The fe"-deration. Coincidence? -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.de http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/ST3
