peqIm, here comes some more clarifications for the words used in the Klingon subtitles of DSC on Netflix: ---- For the archive: this is printed in qepHom 2017, page 16. ---- The English word "personality" can have two meanings: (1) qualities or traits that form a person's character (as in "That TV host has a friendly personality") or (2) qualities that make a person popular, charm, charisma (as in "He host has a lot of personality") The noun {DI'on} works for the first meaning, it means "characteristic" or "trait", and could be used if a person is a grouch ("He has a bad personality"). Meaning (2) always refers to positive personal characteristics. To describe this "personality" that's an asset along with physical strength and intelligence, use {loy'}. This verb means something like "have personality, be charismatic, be charming." ---- This information from #qepHom2017 will be added to the page "Message from Maltz" on qepHom.de: https://www.qephom.de/e/message_from_maltz.html -- Lieven L.

I wonder if things can have *DI'onmey* too, or if it only applies to people. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

I would think that they can, because this word was discovered during the Pittsburgh Art tour - as far as I know. I'm not sure. Andrew Miller should be able to answer that, or say how he used it, if he did. -- Lieven L.

I just asked, here's his answer with the phrase: original line: "The plaza is a central feature of the Cultural District." {meHghem yoS botlh DI’on ’oH ghommeH yotlhvam’e’} This plaza is a feature of the centre of the Cultural District. -- Lieven L.
