Tattoo

I'm forwarding this new word which was published by Qov on Facebook. She apologizes for not sending it here directly. The mailing list has blacklisted her ISP so she can't use it anymore. From Marc: - For tattoo, I got some new stuff from Maltz: {tutlh} "have a tattoo, be tattooed" (so {tutlhmoH} is "to tattoo"). The noun "tattoo" is {DIr tutlh}. If you have one pattern/design on your arm, say, that's an example of a {DIr tutlh}. If you have lots of independent patterns/designs, interwoven or separated, the whole lot of them taken together is/are {DIr tutlh}. -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.klingonisch.net http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/Maltz

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Sweat

I've thought of {tInchoH}, but I feel there's something missing, with regards to its ability to describe "to swell". For instance, if I want to say "a bug stung me and my hand swell", and I write {muchop ghew 'ej tInchoH ghopwIj}, I get the impression that there is "something missing". On the other hand, if I want to say "I saw lurSa' and tInchoH ngaghmeH nebwIj", then indeed the {tInchoH} is good. The {neb} being used metaphorically of course. So, I feel that the {tInchoH} lacks something, when we need to describe "to swell", as a result of a pathological process.. Perhaps I'm wrong though.. I don't know.. mayqel q On Oct 7, 2017 23:07, "SuStel" <sustel(a)trimboli.name> wrote: > tInchoH > > > > -- > SuStel > http://trimboli.name > > > > *From: *mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> > *Sent: *Saturday, October 7, 2017 3:25 PM > *To: *tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org > *Subject: *Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Sweat > > > > And being on the subject of "things happening on a klingon body".. > > > > An additional word, which would be nice if it was requested, at the qepHom > to come, is "swell". > > > > I'm sure, that for good or for bad, there are many things on a klingon > body, which swell pretty often. > > > > mayqel q > > > > On Oct 7, 2017 22:02, "mayqel qunenoS" <mihkoun(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Is there anywhere in ca'non any reference that klingons don't sweat ? > > > > I know that they don't cry, but don't they sweat ? > > > > I'm writing this, because I'm surprised (not pleasantly), that we don't > have a word for "sweat" (noun, or verb). > > > > Anyways, I think this would be a good word to ask for, in the coming > qepHom. > > > > mayqel q > > > > _______________________________________________ > tlhIngan-Hol mailing list > tlhIngan-Hol(a)lists.kli.org > http://lists.kli.org/listinfo.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org > >

topic marker on the subject of {-meH}
by mayqel qunenoS 08 Oct '17

08 Oct '17

Can we place the topic marker {-'e'}, on the subject of a verb, which has a {-meH} attached to it ? Can we say: {sweat swell je DelmeH mu''e', Hutlh tlhIngan Hol} as for words in order to describe "sweat and swell", the klingon language lacks them Is the above grammatically correct ? mayqel qun'noS

Sweat

Is there anywhere in ca'non any reference that klingons don't sweat ? I know that they don't cry, but don't they sweat ? I'm writing this, because I'm surprised (not pleasantly), that we don't have a word for "sweat" (noun, or verb). Anyways, I think this would be a good word to ask for, in the coming qepHom. mayqel q

When I said.. You said..

Sometime ago, when I asked whether {ghelwI'} could be understood as "question", I was told that the answer is "no", since the meaning would be "asker", and not "question".. maj. At star trek discovery, there is the sentence: {buQwI'vam 'omlu'meH wa' mIw tu'lu'} there is one way to confront this threat Can someone explain, why {buQwI'} means "threat", and not "threatener" ? Now, don't get me wrong.. I am convinced that {ghelwI'} is "asker" and not "question". And I'm grateful to the people who explained to me what was going on. But there is no way, I will swallow, that {buQwI'} means "threat". mayqel q
