(each post written in tlhIngan Hol deserves a Qapla'!) qunnoq SKI: At a Star Trek Next Generation episode, two Klingons have died, and Picard asks the Klingon captain, what he is to do with the bodies. Then the Klingon captain replies: "They are empty vessels; treat them as such". As a result of this scene, I don't think that Klingons would utilize elaborate sarcophaghi, in order to dispose of corpses which -according to their beliefs- are nothing more than empty shells.

line from Star Trek Discovery trailer
by De'vID 30 Jul '17

30 Jul '17

The only line spoken by a Klingon is in English: https://youtu.be/oWnYtyNKPsA?t=48s "We have been waiting for someone worthy of our attention." Maybe something like: {vay' DIqIm 'e' luqotlhbogh vay' DIloS.} That assumes the "someone" is plural. Also, depending on whether the waiting is completed, maybe there needs to be a {-ta'}. Suggestions? -- De'vID

Marc said yes. The cat meowed as I walked by. Marc said no. He said these are words that described the sounds that the animals make. They are pretty much onomatopoeias of the animals noises. qurgh

Imperatives and {-be'}
by mayqel qunenoS 29 Jul '17

29 Jul '17

Apologising once more in advance for quoting boQwI', I need to bring this up, because there I read that.. "Even though tkd says that {-be'} cannot be used with imperatives, it seems that this means only that it cannot be used to form negative imperatives. For example, a sentence such as {HIleghbe'moH} seems to be possible" I can't understand this. Isn't the {HIleghbe'moH} a negative imperative ? Doesn't it mean "make me not see !" ? qunnoq
