Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
If it’s Friday that must mean a trip to Marc Okrand’s wonderful book Klingon for the Galactic Traveler and a special noun selected just for you! That noun is Sech. Capital S, E, CH. Sech means torch. It works nicely with some of the other vocabulary we’ve had this week. But don’t take my word for it, try out these practice sentences:
mughato’ DameQnISchugh Sech yIlo’
if you need to burn a mugato, use a torch
tujqu’ Sechvam qul
this torch’s fire is very hot!
jInarghmeH wa’vatlh Sechmey vItu’nIS
for me to escape, I need to find one hundred torches
A person may study Klingon, because it satisfies some vague urge they have. There’s no need to explain or examine that urge, it’s sufficient that you have it. It’s like why some people climb mountains, just because the mountains are there. Klingon is there. The fact it will open worlds for you is just bonus. But, it will you know. qo’mey poSmoH Hol.

Today’s podcast is brought to you by Buffalito Destiny by Lawrence M. Schoen.
“The Amazing Conroy is a stage hypnotist who has parlayed an alien buffalo dog — a creature that eats anything and farts oxygen — into a powerful corporation worth billions. An ambitious plan to use these buffalitos to clean up toxic waste sites places him in direct conflict with a radical anti-alien ecoterrorist organization, and before long, Conroy is on the run with only his pet buffalito, Reggie, and his gambler pal, Left-John Mocker, to aid him. As bizarre dreams guide him inexorably towards a mysterious destiny, Conroy deals with prophetic aliens, ancient Mayan ruins, exquisite sandwiches and the temporally-unstable state of Texas. Part crisis-filled road trip, part gonzo race against time, and all tongue-in-cheek humor and charm, this nutty tale may sound strange, but Schoen somehow makes it all come together.” –Publishers Weekly “Only Lawrence Schoen could blend the Mayan eschaton, nightclub hypnotism, corporate elitism, radical environmentalism, and good old-fashioned slam-bang adventure fiction.” — Jay Lake, Campbell Award winner |
