new words qepHom 2016 (art)
At this year's qepHom, we received lots of new words. Some of them were wishes by qepHom attendees and others. Others were used in Andrew Miller's Art presentation in a Museum of Pittsburgh, which happened on the same weekend. Marc Okrand gave me the list in english alphabetical order, so for reading convenience I re-arranged them in a somehow logical order. This list talks about art ---begin quote--- "Klingon for the Galactic Traveler" (p. 79) says there is no single word for "art" or "artwork." This refers to visual art (painting, sculpture, etc.). {meHghem} ("arts, the arts, culture") is a bigger, more comprehensive term covering "the arts" or "art" as opposed to "science." So it includes music, theater, dance, etc. as well as visual art. It's "culture" in this sense. Similarly, {vIqraq} ("artifact, work of art") is more general than a visual piece of art. It covers that, but also an artifact (not in the archaeological sense), handicraft, gizmo, gadget, contraption, machine, device, etc. – that is, something manufactured/made. shape, form, appearance, configuration (n.) tu'qom poem (n.) ghuQ pane, panel, sheet (not for bed) (n.) vol jazz (music) (n.) (loanword from DIvI' Hol) jeS / jeS QoQ juggle (objects, not tasks) (v.) jaDchu' mosaic (n.) majyang mIllogh ---end quote--- [note: Klingon words were written in bold face.
