Klingon word: jatlh Part of speech: verb Definition: say, tell, speak Source: ADD
Does *jatlh* ever really get glossed with /tell?/ The original TKD had /say/ and /speak/ in translations, but only /say/ in the Klingon–English word list and only /speak/ in the English–Klingon word list. *jatlh* is repeated in both the Addendum word lists with /say/ but not /speak./*ja'* is /tell/ (and /report/). I consider the distinction significant, because saying and speaking mean using language verbally while telling and reporting mean imparting information. Unless there is a further gloss not listed, this entry should be corrected. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
