Thanks for reminding us of this example.
I've recently been trying to work out a way to express the quote: "You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon."
While {DuQ} is said to apply to good food or music, I think poetic license may allow it to apply to literature also. "You haven't been stabbed by Shakespeare until he's stabbed you in the original Klingon..."
I threw together a couple of ways, which I'm not sure about: {SeQpIr Daleghchu'be'pu', mung tlhIngan HolDajDaq ghaH DalaDpu'pa'.} {SeQpIr Daleghchu' neH, mung tlhIngan HolDajDaq ghaH DalaDDI'.}
I don't think {legh} has the sense of "experience". I'd use {SIQ}. (While "endure, bear" seem to have negative connotations in English, {SIQ} seems neutral or even positive for Klingons.)
And now I'm reminded of this STE communique, I've given it another go with {jeS}: {SeQpIr DalaDtaHvIS bIjeSchu'be', mung tlhIngan HolDajDaq ghaH DalaDpu'pa'.}
I'm fairly sure I've made a few errors with those. So if anyone has pointers as to how to go about recasting/correcting one, I'd appreciate it.
Are there more examples of {jeS} in use?
There are the example sentences from the Saarbrücken qepHom in 2016: qaStaHvIS qepHom jIjeS. qaS qepHom 'ej jIjeS. qaS qepHom vaj jIjeS. -- De'vID
