somebody asked how to express the idea of things happening automatically, like machines, doors, ets. Okrand answered this at #qepHom2021, (qepHom booklet p. 14) http://klingon.wiki/En/NewWordsQepHom2021 text for reference archived in http://klingon.wiki/En/Automatic <<<<<<< For machines, mechanical devices, automatic doors, etc., make use of -'egh: poS'eghmoH lojmIt "the door opens automatically" (lit. "the door opens itself") 'or'egh muD Duj "the airplane runs automatically, the airplane is on autopilot" (lit. "the airplane operates itself") If you've set something up to happen on its own, like paying bills from your bank account, the -'egh option doesn't work. You wouldn't say that bills pay themselves, however desirable that might be. You might say qav'ap DIlmeH beylI' mabwIj ghunlu'ta' "my bank account has been programmed to pay the fee" or, less literally, "My bank pays the fee automatically" or even "I pay the fee automatically." If to do something automatically means to do it routinely, use roD "customarily, habitually, regularly."
