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

jIH:

There are times one doesn't need, nor is it proper to say {joHwI'}.

Let alone the fact, that even if it *is* your lord the one you're talking to, saying continuously {joHwI'} gives off a feeling of ass-kissing. I don't know if in the examples posted by voragh, the rationale behind the {joHwI'} is to show respect, but if this is indeed the case, then again this would be a wrong way to show respect. You can both respect someone, *and* not kiss his ass. ~ Dana'an
