Yes ! This word obviously comes from the "now what". However, the phonology of this word continues to confuse me. Since the glottal stop is a valid self-standing letter on its own, then this word obviously violates the cvc-cvc klingon word structure. qunnoq On 19 Jul 2017 6:12 pm, "André Müller" <esperantist@gmail.com> wrote:

It's a pun from Hitchickers Guide to the Galaxy: "the planet of NowWhat had been named after the opening words of the first settlers to arrive there after struggling across light-years of space to reach the furthest unexplored outreaches of the Galaxy. The main town was called OhWell." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Places_in_The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Gala... qurgh

To avoid confusion, it is perhaps best to specify that it is CVw' + CVC; CVC' does not appear to be "permitted" in general. Permitted syllables appear to be: CV - i.e. bo, Da, ghu CVC (with the exception of Cow and Cuw) - i.e. boS, batlh, ghum (but not Qow or chuw) CVw' (presumably with the exception of Cow' and Cuw') - i.e. waw', naw', Daw' - interestingly, Cew' and CIw' have never been used, although there is no "rule" barring their existence CVy' - i.e. 'ay', bey', qoy' CVrgh - i.e. Dargh, morgh, lurgh C = consonant V = vowel Exceptions might appear in transcriptions ofalien names (such as pIqarD and jemS tIy qIrq) and in no' Hol (such as paq'batlh). ________________________________ From: tlhIngan-Hol <tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org> on behalf of André Müller <esperantist@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2017 17:12 To: tlhingan-hol@kli.org Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: naw'wat CVC' + CVC naw' + wat This syllable structure isn't uncommon.
