Klingon Word of the Day for Tuesday, July 30, 2024 Klingon word: SIS Part of speech: verb Definition: rain Source: TKD Notes: <div>qep'a' 30 - During the event, a leak caused water to come from the ceiling. While describing this to Dr. Okrand, I (qurgh) said "The ceiling rained" and he replied by saying that expression would be how {SIS} should be used. We established that the subject of {SIS}, and other weather verbs, is the source of that activity. In the case of {SIS} this could be {muD}, {'eng}, or {pa' beb}.</div><div><br></div><div>SIS.  In a way everyone was correct with this one.  It rained a few times during the weekend, so we were put into the situation to discuss it.</div><div><br></div><div>SIS</div><div>SISqu'</div><div>SIStaH</div><div>SISchoH</div><div>All correct.</div><div><br></div><div>SISlu', although grammatically correct, he didn't particularly like.  Someone COULD use it but to me it sounds like they skipped science class and don't know what the subject is.</div><div><br></div><div>You can also give it an object and say things like the clouds rained down cats and dogs. ...or something like that; you get the idea.</div><div>But when Marc and I went outside and drops of water were falling on us, he looked up and simply said "SIS".</div> This Klingon Word of the Day is brought to you by qurgh (qurgh(a)kli.org)

Claudian quote
by James Landau 28 Jul '24

28 Jul '24

Today I came across this quote by the Roman emperor Claudian: "It is no victory unless the vanquished foe admits your mastery." Sounds very Klingon-y. Who can make the best translation into tlhIngan Hol?

Klingon Word Wiki - special pages
by Lieven L. Litaer 25 Jul '24

25 Jul '24

Hi there, since Voragh just asked for a place to find new words, here are some useful pages on the wiki: https://klingon.wiki/Word/WebYoungTopicList This page lists latest additions, but that doesn't mean those are new words. (It could show a missing word TKD added yesterday, for instance) A simple list of latest changes: https://klingon.wiki/Word/WebChanges By the way, as of today exactly, we have finished the German translation of the Klingon Word Wiki, which took us almost 19 months. The reason for that long time is because it's not only the words, but also tons of canon examples and explanations. https://klingon.wiki/Wort/Inhalt The opposite of the above list, is this one containing those pages which were not changed after their creation. The oldest among these are nearly 5 years old. Just in case anyone likes to refresh them: https://klingon.wiki/Word/WebOldestPages -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" https://tlhInganHol.com
