In the LCV, emotion words are listed in groups of five. Most of these words are up at https://klingon.wiki/En/Emotions . Often, only one word is canon Klingon, but its relatives can easily be formed by adding suffixes like -moH. emotion, feeling mood good mood bad mood temper (lose one's temper = Qay') boundary strong (emotion) weak (emotion) good (feelings, memories) bad (feelings, memories) intense (~ desire) intense (~ excitement) intense (~ feeling) intense (~ friendship) intense (~ love) intense (~ hate) deep (of love, sympathy) to mean (you ~ a lot to me) pain (emotional) pleasure (emotional) joy, happiness, delight / happy* (about) / happy / to elate / to delight, to thrill (be happy = Quch) sadness / sad*, unhappy (about) / sad / – / to sadden (be sad = 'IQ) fear / afraid* (of), scared (of) / scary / to fear / to frighten, to scare (one’s own fear) (be afraid to = -vIp) fear / afraid (of), scared (of) / scary / to fear / to frighten, to scare (another’s fear) (be afraid to = -vIp) anger / angry* (with), mad (at) / angering / – / to anger (be angry = QeH) rage / in a rage (at, about) / enraging / to rage / to enrage, to infuriate pride / proud (of) / – / to take pride / – (be proud = Hem) sorrow / sorry (for) / – / to lament / – (be sorry = QoS) regret / sorry (for) / – / to regret / – (be sorry = QoS;

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: re'chIv

The name Danny was actually the first thing that came to my mind, but when I googled "Danny headphones" all I saw were references to the Dany brand. It didn't occur to me that *DannI'* could be an in-joke about headphones and a Danny whom Marc Okrand knew personally, but if we have *yelneHSIQ* as the word for "vanadium", despite Chris Henley having nothing to do with vanadium, then that's a possibility. >Message: 2 >Date: Sun, 19 Jan 2025 23:23:54 +0100 >From: "De'vID" <de.vid.jonpin(a)gmail.com> >To: tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org >Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: re'chIv >Message-ID: > <CA+7zAmPWZS51X4piYhK-eKca5zY2Vo+N8s2MrVfgCdrw_hU0dw(a)mail.gmail.com> >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > >On Sun, Jan 19, 2025 at 10:31?PM James Landau via tlhIngan-Hol < >tlhingan-hol(a)lists.kli.org> wrote: > >> Then there's the Dany headphone manufacturer.
