Klingon word: ghu'lIS Part of speech: noun Definition: item in a list Source: Email from De'vID _______________________________________________ AFAIK never used in a sentence. LANGUAGE NOTES: (De'vID < MO, 2/17/2018): For purposes of boQwI’ [i.e. De'vID's computer program], "definition" would be {jIyweS} "translation, gloss". It’s not a definition like in an English-only (or any-language-only) dictionary (that explains/describes a word’s meaning); it’s a quick tag to give you an idea of what the word means. For "entry", Maltz suggests {ghu’lIS} "item in a list". (De'vID, 2/10/2018): "Be sorted" is {patlh}, which also means "have a rank of". So sort is {patlhmoH}, also meaning rank. The object of {patlhmoH} is not a list (as a whole) but the things in the list, the things to be ranked or sorted. {Sal} and {ghIr} cannot be used for sort order. To sort [{patlhmoH}] a list of English words alphabetically (or reverse alphabetically), use constructions like {wa’DIch a}, {HochDIch z} or {wa’DIch z}, {HochDIch a}. For a list of Klingon words, it would be {wa’DIch bay, HochDIch qaghwI’, wa’DIch qaghwI’, HochDIch bay}. You’d use similar constructions to sort by date or whatever. I’m assuming that, for your purposes, you wouldn’t sort by anything other than something that can be put in a specific order – that is, not sorting by color, for example... And to the question of whether *{yoymoH} could be used for reversing a list, he replied: "No. Use {DopmoH} "cause to be opposite." (qep’a’ 2015): When asked about navigating lists or events, [Maltz] gave us {vorgh} "be previous" (opposite of {veb} "be next"). Can also use {nungbogh} ({nung} "precede")… SEE: natlIS last item in a list (n) (HQ 12.2:9): for the beginning of a list (of names or words, for example, whether spoken out loud or written on a scroll), one would say simply {pong wa'DIch} "first name" or {mu' wa'DIch} "first word". For the end, one could say {pong HochDIch} "last name" or {mu' HochDIch} "last word", but one could also use a special term for the end of the list, {natlIS}. PUN: last but "not least" SEE ALSO: tetlh list (n) Qumran scroll (n) HIDjolev menu (n) mem catalog (n) Qav be final, last (v) tlha' chase, follow (v) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary or notes from the last year or two.
