Hello, Here comes some more clarifications for the words used in Klingon subtitles: ---- For the archive: this is printed in qepHom 2017, page 23. ---- MO: For "signal," I suggest the verb {rIS}. This means "make a cracking or snapping sound" but can also be used to mean "emit a signal." Maybe Klingons used to use Geiger counters a lot. LLL: How is this different to tlhuD "emit radiation"? MO: {rIS }originally referred to emitting sound only. Later the meaning was extended to mean emitting any sort of signal – sound, radiation, smell, etc. {tlhuD} refers to radiation only. LLL: So a {rISwI'} would be some sending device, right? MO: It could mean this, yes. LLL: How would I say that I receive or detect a signal? What about {rISHa'}? Is it the opposite of "sending"? MO: {rISHa'} would refer to sending a signal improperly, like maybe to the wrong person. It wouldn't mean "receive or detect a signal." ---- 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.
