My commitment to this course of action is not emotional. (DSC/LLLsub "The Vulcan Hello") matIwtaHvIS pa'logh nIyma' wIleghchugh When emotions brings us ghosts from the past (DSC/LLLsub "The Vulcan Hello") (Lieven interviews Okrand, qepHom 2017): MO: For logic, use the verb {meq}. It's a verb that means, among other things, think logically. I think Klingons would use a verb when talking about types of thinking rather than a noun. For emotions, you can use the verb {tIw}. This means react emotionally, behave emotionally. LLL: Can {tIw} take an object? As with meaning of "feeling emotions", being one's own, or someone else emotions? MO: No. I don't think it can take an object. You'd probably say something like: {cheghDI' bangwI' jItIw}. TREK NOTES: "I must confess that I too am moved emotionally. I know it is illogical."
