Usually, be-verbs are given as "be hot", "be tall", "be silent" etc. Would there be a reason, that the ghItlhHa' was given as "lenient, indulgent" instead of "be lenient, indulgent" ? Does the missing "be" change anything ? ~ Capricorn

One of my pet peeves about the German definitions in {boQwI'} is that verbs of quality are inconsistent as to whether they include "sein" (the German equivalent of "be"). For example, {matlh} is "loyal, treu" while {matlhHa'} is "untreu sein". But I'm not bothered enough to try to fix this. -- De'vID

Oh, that may be my fault... or my "decision" I made when I started the translation of boQw' many years ago and I tried to keep it consistent. Most of the words do NOT include the "sein" part. I agree that it's not correct but I thought it would make it easier to read and to search. First, because "sein" is longer than "be", but also because for visiblility reasons that it just looks better, especially when a definition constists of multiple words I wasn't sure whether to add sein for each one or not, so it was simply dropped. And I feel like david and don't see a reason to fix that. Maybe one day I'm so bored I got nothing else to do, I may fix it. -- Lieven L.

I got the iOS version of boQwI’. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I’ve made a lot of Klingon dictionaries. Different formats. Different apps. This is the first one someone else created that is good enough to spare me from the many hours of updating my own most recent version, since I like using yours more than mine. Certainly the interface is better. Sent from my iPhone. charghwI’ vaghnerya’ngan

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
FYI: The iOS version is the work of Daniel Dadap, aka De'nIl.
But the database, which is not my work, is the only thing that actually makes it useful. The boQwI' database is the real hero here; thanks De'vID, Quvar, and others for painstik-ingly maintaining it all these years. The iOS version still can’t do a number of things the Android version does. Eventually I hope to be able to work on it again, but I’m glad people find it useful in its current state anyway. If there’s ever anything a boQwI' user on iOS feels would be a useful change or addition to the program, please feel free to write to me by email or file an issue on the project’s GitHub page: https://github.com/dadap/flingon-assister/issues I can’t promise I’ll be able to do anything in a timely manner, but I do want to know what changes people would like to see in the program.
No. I imagine it was dropped just to save a little typing. However it’s spelled with a {y}. Here’s how I have it in my notes: yItlh be strict, severe, firm, stern, authoritarian (v) TLP yItlhHa' be lenient, indulgent (v) TLP Appropriately {ghItlhHa’} would mean “mis-write”, e.g. to make a typo! -- Voragh From: mayqel qunen'oS Usually, be-verbs are given as "be hot", "be tall", "be silent" etc. Would there be a reason, that the ghItlhHa' was given as "lenient, indulgent" instead of "be lenient, indulgent" ?

Yes. It's a very top secret coded message from Maltz. -- De'vID
