Cataloging idioms
by SuStel 05 May '17

05 May '17

I'm updating my personal dictionary and touching up the section for idioms, which I never gave the attention it needed. I'm wondering if I've got them all. There are all the idioms in KGT, then there are the following from newsgroup posts/HolQeD articles: 'arlogh Qoylu'pu' pumDI' tIngvo' 'evDaq chanDaq Are there any other known idioms I missed? -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Pronunciation Flashcards
by Lieven 04 May '17

04 May '17

I just found these pronunciation flashcards and was wondering who made them, or if it comes from somebody we know of? (we actually know most klingonists around here) I was surprised that the cards do use very new words like HeySel and 'a'ghen and the pronunciation marks seem to be correct as well. Apart from the very ugly used pIqaD font I think that those cards are really well done. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Klingon-Alphabet-Learning-Letters-and-Words-Pronunc… -- Lieven L.

More on {cheS}: {cheS}, {vel}, and {cheSvel}
by Michael Kúnin 04 May '17

04 May '17

As revealed in KGT, {cheSvel} is a type of a coat/cloak (with certain regional associations with {voSpegh Sep}). In 2012, {vel} was revealed as a verb meaning "cover, coat, mask". And then in 2016 {cheS} "a rabbit-like animal" was revealed. Qapla'!

wIj jup in the paq'batlh
by Steven Boozer 03 May '17

03 May '17

For those interested, I stumbled across an example of {wIj jup} in the paq'batlh (in the section called {qeylIS SuvwI' qan je}): wIj jup SengmeywIj vIja'laHbe' jIHvaD ratlh pagh Dear old friend, I cannot speak of my tragedies, There is nothing left for me. (KGT 40): Use of these otherwise bizarre constructions indicates an unusual closeness between the possessor and what is possessed, comparable to the Federation Standard practice of using a derogatory epithet to show affection (as in "John, you [epithet], it's good to see you"). Indeed, this is the best interpretation of a phrase heard among Klingons who are particularly good friends: {wIj jup} ("friend mine"). A translation such as "my very good friend" or "my dear old friend" may come closer to what is intended. It is not known with certainty why this construction is found predominantly among the higher classes... As we know, this was Okrand's backfit to a scriptwriter's attempt to translate "my friend" literally} in DS9 "Blood Oath" when Kor called his old friend Curzon/Jadzia Dax {wIj jup}. -- Voragh tlhIngan ghantoH pIn'a' Ca'Non Master of the Klingons
