At this year's qepHom, we received lots of new words. Some of them were wishes by qepHom attendees and others. Others were used in Andrew Miller's Art presentation in a Museum of Pittsburgh, which happened on the same weekend. Marc Okrand gave me the list in english alphabetical order, so for reading convenience I re-arranged them in a somehow logical order. This list talks about art ---begin quote--- "Klingon for the Galactic Traveler" (p. 79) says there is no single word for "art" or "artwork." This refers to visual art (painting, sculpture, etc.). {meHghem} ("arts, the arts, culture") is a bigger, more comprehensive term covering "the arts" or "art" as opposed to "science." So it includes music, theater, dance, etc. as well as visual art. It's "culture" in this sense. Similarly, {vIqraq} ("artifact, work of art") is more general than a visual piece of art. It covers that, but also an artifact (not in the archaeological sense), handicraft, gizmo, gadget, contraption, machine, device, etc. – that is, something manufactured/made. shape, form, appearance, configuration (n.) tu'qom poem (n.) ghuQ pane, panel, sheet (not for bed) (n.) vol jazz (music) (n.) (loanword from DIvI' Hol) jeS / jeS QoQ juggle (objects, not tasks) (v.) jaDchu' mosaic (n.) majyang mIllogh ---end quote--- [note: Klingon words were written in bold face.
