Hi there, intended as an April fools joke which is not a joke (so somehow a Schrödinger's joke?), the world's largest model railway in Germany has published their promotional video in Klingon. See the video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ovl2G2jsYM and on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=338690640114293 For future reference, details and new words are listed in the Klingon Language wiki: http://www.klingonwiki.net/En/MiniaturWunderland These are the words: {ghI'neS} n. "Guinness", Klingon spelling for the company name {Hamburgh} n. "Hamburg" (city)" {men} vt. "have an area of..." {mu'neqo} n. "Monaco" {nu'} va. "be particularly small" {SIqenDInavya'} n. "Scandinavia" {tIHmey} n. "railroad tracks" [based on tIH "shaft of speer"] {tlharwIl Duj} n. "railroad car" [part of a train] {'ewro} n. "Euro" [European currency] The most interesting word certainly is {nu'}. To show the difference: a {targhHom} is just a small targ, but a {targh nu'} can only refer to a "toy targ". Okrand's words: ------ There's no noun Maltz is aware of like "miniature" (small model or version of something). {machqu'} is fine, but if you want to avoid it, you could use the verb {nu'} which means something like "be particularly small" and is often used of things that are smaller than the usual or expected size. In general, things that are {nu'} are smaller than those that are {mach} or even {machqu'} — but there's no hard line or specific rule. If/when it's appropriate, you could also make use of {-Hom}. ------ After I asked for atoms, this was the answer: ------- You might use it for atoms (if the context is appropriate). It wouldn't mean "smaller than expected" in that case — only "tiny" or something like that. ------ So roughly, {nu'} is even smaller than small. "mini". -- Lieven L.
