These are my guesses; some of them I wasn't inspired > enough to even try on. I see no point in guessing the results of new words and strongly discourage sending such a list full of non-canon words. It has happened before that someone didn't read the entire message and accidentally assumed it was a new word. This is more confusing than helpful. -- Lieven L.

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: renyarDaq

Mr. Boozer! Good to see you back with your WotD stuff! When the word *renyarDaq* was introduced, I had never heard of Noreen Renier and thought the *renyar* part was *rayner* backwards, as in J. B. "Rhine" plus "Zener" cards. How about *Qaqnel* for a psychic detective? >Message: 4 >Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2024 18:22:04 +0000 >From: Steven Boozer <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> >To: "tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org" <tlhingan-hol(a)kli.org> >Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: renyarDaq >Message-ID: > <SA3PR11MB8048F0852F42133FFC7BDE44C1A22(a)SA3PR11MB8048.namprd11.prod.outlook.com> > >Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > >Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, July 14, 2024 >. >Klingon word: renyarDaq >Part of speech: noun >Definition: psychic ability or abilities >Source: qep'a' 30 [2023] >------------------------------------------------------------------------ > >AFAIK never used in a sentence. > >(qep'a' 2023): For "ESP," {'erwI'Daq} is normally fine.

Number of speakers
by Lieven L. Litaer 15 Jul '24

15 Jul '24

Many many years ago, Lawrence gave an interview and mentione dthere were about "30-40 fluent speakers". This is quoted everywehere in the web, also in Arika Okrants book. That interview is quite old, and the number of speakers has with no doubt increased. But Wikipedia is no asking for a citation. As of today, I would guess there are about 100 people who speak Klingon fluently, but my number is based on experience, not statistics. So, in which way could we get a good number of fluent speakers? (PS: no need to discuss what "fluent" really means. There are no native level speakers.) -- Lieven L.
