I have a picture of a color chart. The left side is for females, listing something like 30 - 50 colors; the various shades of blue, the various greens, and such. The right side is for men; has only 7 or 8 colors. Royal blue, aqua, teal, cyan (and others) = blue. I'll say "It is blue", but the wife will try to correct me and give some fancy girlie term specifying a particular shade of blue. Klingon just takes it a little further. Doq, SuD. And, if needed, as seen in the chart that someone else already linked to, you can say Doqqu' and SuDqu', and also add wov and wovbe'. - DloraH -------------------------------------------- On Sun, 7/24/16, mayqel qunenoS <mihkoun@gmail.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] How to clean a white shirt To: "tlhIngan Hol mailing list" <tlhingan-hol@kli.org> Date: Sunday, July 24, 2016, 2:49 AM Michael Roney, Jr.
{SuD} comes from TKD and has "yellow" in the definition.
tkd, p. 135 : {SuD} green, be green, blue, yellow As you see, it also has blue and green ; so unless the reader is psychic, thus being able to know which of the three words I actually want to express, then this word (on its own) is useless. Perhaps that's the reason why there is a klingon psychic probe in the first place.. poghmey qIj qunnoq On Sat, Jul 23, 2016 at 7:58 PM, Michael Roney, Jr. <nahqun@gmail.com> wrote:

You appear to need an ahem primer on colours. pa' yoqqoq DanejtaHbogh Datu' 'e' vIHar:

I knew of the word {SuD}, and of this link as well ; but because I remembered that some of the color shades described there were not
canon, I chose to write "yellow" in federation standard english. Only
now that I checked again, I saw that the "yellowish tinge" shade is canon indeed.
But all this is confusing and outrageous as well. Am I supposed to remember, in every canon source which came out after tkd and kgt, every little detail ? And among all shades of a particular color, am I supposed to remember which is canon and which is not ?
Or am I supposed to remember that somewhere in kgt, there is a line
which describes the "yellowish tinge", which of course isn't mentioned
in the dictionary at the end of the book ?
So, one uses federation standard and the job is done..
thank you though, for taking the time to reply.

Klingon only has 4 color words to remember (if you count black and white as
colors).
