Hi, I just started a page in the Klingon.wiki listing metaphorically used words and also metonyms. Okrand did not name them as such, and I noticed ther are others that fit in such alist which were not explicitally label as such, like {Soj} meaning "matter, affair" instead of "food". Then I noticed that many of the idioms use (or are) metaphors, so it kind of overlaps. Now come the questions... 1. Did anyone ever make such a compilation already? 2. Would you understand and/or accept words taken from idioms in a different context, like if I use {Ha'quj} without the verb {nge'} - would you know I talk about somebody's pride? (Well, KGT says that phrases outside of context would only be understood literally, but I'd ask anyway.) 3. Some idioms consist of only a noun phrase, like {naH jajmey}. Wouldn't that also be a metonymy? See the page here: http://klingon.wiki/En/Metaphor -- Lieven L. Litaer aka the "Klingon Teacher from Germany" http://www.tlhInganHol.com
