nuqjatlh?

I don't understand this at all. What did you intend to say?

I guess he tried to translate the subject line: "Homo homini lupus" which means something like "the Human is a danger for himself", but literally "the human is the human's wolve". I'd say this more like {HumanvaD jagh ghaH Human'e'} or {rut Human jagh Da Human} Just my idea. PS: just tell me if I'm absolutley wrong with your message, mayqel. -- Lieven L.

I tried to express in klingon, the saying "homo homini lupus", which is used primarily to describe the sad truth that "man is ruthless". lieven :

You're absolutely right ! And your translations and ghunchu'wI's too, transfer accurately the desired meaning in klingon. mop Hurgh On Tue, Jun 28, 2016 at 12:02 AM, Alan Anderson <qunchuy@alcaco.net> wrote:

Literally, then: {Human norgh ghaH Human'e'} I'd translate the idiomatic meaning as {buQ'egh Human}
