[[ [2016-09-30] added document Type: email Date: 26 July 2010 Title: {mu' chu'} Author: Alan Anderson Summary: Three new nouns from {qep'a' wa'maH SochDIch} (in 2010): {maQ} ~omen, sign~; {ruS} ~bond~ (as between blood brothers) and {chalqach} ~tower~. {Suto'vo'qor} verified as correct, and a sighting of {wa'DIch} used adverbially. ]] Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:39:04 -0400 Subject: mu' chu' From: "ghunchu'wI' 'utlh" To: tlhingan-hol@kli.org ja' Voragh: > Time for the ritual post-qep'a' question:  Any new words from Okrand this year? A cadre of grammarians had the opportunity to preview a section of a Klingon opera. In it we noted a smattering of tlhIngan Hol spellings for names of various places, people, and plants. Someone wrote them down, but I did not think them important enough at the time to record them myself. I do recall that {Suto'vo'qor} was confirmed as correct. There were three nouns we had not seen before: maQ "omen, sign" ruS "bond", as between blood brothers chalqach "tower" The first two give standalone meanings to already-existing morphemes (see {maQmIgh} and {ruStay} in TKD). A running joke has been going for many years about wanting a word for "deluxe apartment in the sky"; we now know to say {chalqach pa''a'}. :) We also saw an apparently adverbial {wa'DIch}, confirming that the {wa'DIch jagh'e' wIHeghmoHmo'} line in {taHjaj wo'} is appropriate usage. -- ghunchu'wI' [[eof]]
