At this year's qepHom, we received lots of new words. Some of them were wishes by qepHom attendees and others. Others were used in Andrew Miller's Art presentation in a Museum of Pittsburgh, which happened on the same weekend. Marc Okrand gave me the list in english alphabetical order, so for reading convenience I re-arranged them in a somehow logical order. Few words had more explanations, here they are: These were wishes from the students. ---begin quote--- For "effect" (as in Doppler Effect), use the name for the effect followed by {wanI'} ("phenomenon"). So the Maltz Effect would be {matlh wanI'}. (Maltz said there's no such thing as the "Maltz Effect." He just made that up to use as an example. I suspect, though, that people at the qepHom might have ideas about what the {matlh wanI'} might be.) Diseases are named in a similar fashion. If there is such an ailment as "Maltz Disease" (or Maltz's Disease), it would be {matlh rop}. The regular word for "teacher" is {ghojmoHwI'}. A teacher held in high esteem, of higher rank than other teachers in the same institution, could be {ghojmoHwI' quv} or {ghojmoHwI' Han} (v. "be learned, scholarly, erudite"). Probably the highest standing of all is a {'a'ghen}, which can be translated as "master teacher" or "professor." "Voyage cancellation insurance" was an odd concept for Maltz. But he said that {leng chach mab} ("voyage emergency contract") might cover it. {leng chach mab} is not a term or phrase he had heard before, but he said Klingons would understand it meant an agreement about who's respon-sible for what if something goes wrong during a journey. zombie {yInbogh lom} vampire {'Iw remwI'} made using the verb "suck" (e.g. through straw) {rem} ---end quote--- [note: Klingon words were written in bold face.
