(ghunchu'wI', 8/21/2011): This is a general term for a planet's sun. It is not the name of a specific sun. Thus Okrand doesn’t capitalize “sun” when translating: QIStaq 'emDaq jenchoH jul The sun rises high behind the Kri'stak (PB) 'ach narghDI' jul nargh je moratlh qanjIt je HuDmeyvo' ghIr chaH But when the sun appeared, So did Morath and Kanjit, Over the hills, they came. (PB paq’raD: SaqSub chegh) [Are there any counter examples from PB or PB2?] wa’leS wov jul ‘e’ vItul I hope tomorrow will be sunny. (lit. “I hope tomorrow the sun is bright”) (qep’a’ 2016) wa’Hu’ jul So’mo’ ‘eng… Because it was (pretty) cloudy yesterday… (lit. “Because yesterday clouds hid the sun…”) (qep’a’ 2016) wa’Hu’ jul tlhoDmoHmo’ ‘eng… Because it was (sort of) cloudy yesterday… (lit. “Because yesterday clouds somewhat obscured the sun…”) (qep’a’ 2016) Note that we do have the proper name for Earth’s sun, Sol {Sol} [DIS 2889]. Of course, {jul} is a pun. I’ve seen three explanations: 1) "But soft; what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and JULiet is the sun!" (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, II.ii) 2) Yule? (holiday celebrating the winter solstice) 3) The Joule (abbreviation jul) is a unit of energy which the Sun provides Voragh ___________________________________________________________ From: Will Martin via tlhIngan-Hol Sent: Friday, December 1, 2023 9:55 AM Just to note: the Sun and the Moon are both uppercase because they are the proper names of the star and the moon nearest Earth . Some other star referred to as a sun or some other moon referred to as a moon are lowercase because they are simple nouns, not the proper names of anything.
