Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
I must still be tired from my time away, because I have an especially easy noun for you today. It’s taj. T, A, J. taj means knife, or dagger. If you can’t instantly think of dozens of sentences for this word, you’re not trying very hard.
qaHoHmeH taj vIlo’nIS
for killing you, I need to use a knife
Do’ vavwI’ taj wItu’
luckily, we found my father’s dagger
Soppa’ tajvam wIvchu’ta’
before she ate, she clearly chose this dagger
Can you really enjoy learning Klingon? Do you really like making those odd sounds? Is it possible you find pleasure in bizarre grammatical constructions? Don’t answer these questions. They’re the wrong questions to ask. No, opening worlds through language is not about if you enjoy doing these things, but rather how much you will doing them. And the best way to answer those kinds of questions is by doing! 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 |
