Klingon Word of the Day: nural
Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, June 08, 2020 Klingon word: nural Part of speech: noun Definition: Neural Source: TKD This Klingon Word of the Day is brought to you by qurgh (qurgh@kli.org).
I know that most of us already know this, but just to heighten awareness among the less experienced Klingonists, remember that the syllable break for this word in Klingon is {nu-ral} and not the more typical, Engish “neur-al”. Also, it’s extremely unlikely that Klingon would have the English emphasis on the first syllable, nor would the second syllable short-change enunciation of the {a}, as in “father”. This is like the reminder that {Qap-la’} is not “kah-plah”. On Earth, nuns walk around classrooms with wooden rulers for knuckle-whacking. On Qo’noS, ghunchu’wI’pu’ have painsticks and disrupters, depending on the level of disapproval one wishes to express about student performance. Kruge would have made a great teacher. Just ask his second gunner. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.

I meant {ghojmoHwI’pu’}, obviously. {ghunchu’wI’pu’} just slipped out from some kind of quarantine delusional moment. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan rInpa’ bomnIS be’’a’ pI’.
