Klingon Word of the Day: Sar
Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, February 16, 2022 Klingon word: Sar Part of speech: noun Definition: variety Source: TKD (107 KE, 159 EK) This Klingon Word of the Day is brought to you by qurgh (qurgh@kli.org).
Klingon word: Sar Part of speech: noun Definition: variety _______________________________________________ (De'vID < MO, 1/16/2019): By the way — note that the noun {Sar} means variety in the sense of "an interesting variety of tea," not "variety is the spice of life". (De'vID < MO, 2/25/2018): As you say, case, lower case, and upper case are not Klingon things, so there’s no traditional Klingon jargon for this. Maltz said to just use big and small: {ngutlh tIn}, {ngutlh mach}. For "ignore case", perhaps {ngutlh Sar buSHa’} "ignore written-character variety" or {potlhbe’ ngutlh Sar} "written-character variety isn’t important". (De'vID < MO, 1/16/2019): If "we" are the ones doing the hearing, the grammatical ambiguity remains — is {Sar} a noun or a verb? -- but there's even less potential meaning confusion: {QIch wab Ho'DoS Sar DIQoy} "we hear varied pronunciations / we hear accents"; {QIch wab Ho'DoS Sar wIQoy} "we hear a varied pronunciation". This could also mean "we hear an accent", but, as above, this would be unusual. One would be more likely to hear something along the lines of {QIch wab Ho'DoS Sar Huj wIQoy} "we hear a strange accent". SEE: Sar be varied, various (v) Hol Sar dialect (n) QIch wab Ho'DoS Sar pronunciation variety, accent (n) SEE ALSO: Segh race, type, sort, class (n) ghantoH model, example, pattern (n) DI’on characteristic, trait (n) mut species (n) buv classification (n) ngang vary, be varying (v) pIm be different (v) Dop be opposite, antithetical, contradictory (v) -- Voragh, Ca'Non Master of the Klingons Please contribute relevant vocabulary or notes from the last year or two.
