Do you keep track of the source of your information? You could check where you got it from and see whether you miscopied it. For what it's worth, I don't remember ever seeing that second one. I'm pretty sure I've not noticed the syllable {moy} in the vocabulary anywhere. -- ghunchu'wI'
I don’t have anything for {moy} either, but I do have {vul} “be unconscious” and {vulchoH} “faint”, e.g. vulchoHbe' tlhInganpu' Klingons do not faint. (TKW) I suspect {moy} is a typo for {mot}. The T and Y keys are next to each other on a Qwerty keyboard. --Voragh From: tlhIngan-Hol [mailto:tlhingan-hol-bounces@lists.kli.org] On Behalf Of Alan Anderson On Thu, Aug 31, 2017 at 12:47 PM, Anthony Appleyard <a.appleyard@btinternet.com<mailto:a.appleyard@btinternet.com>> wrote: My Klingon on-a-computer-file dictionary now has: mot V [be_stunned|be_knocked_out] (new word, here) moy V be_stunned_as_unconscious (old word) Are both of these entries correct?
