Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
Let’s go all the way back to Type 1 verb suffixes and talk about –’egh. Apostrophe, E, GH, –’egh means oneself and redirects the action of the verb back on the subject. As a result, whenever a verb uses –’egh, there is never an object, and the verb prefix must reflect this. Let me show you what I mean.
maHoH’egh
we killed ourselves
bItoj’eghqa’
you tricked yourself again
jIchechchugh jIvan’eghlaH
if I cam drunk, I can salute myself
legh’eghDI’ mughato’ Haw’
when the mugato saw itself, it fled
Given this new suffix, will you go through all the verbs you know and apply each of them to yourself now, or will you put it off and see if they come up, one by one, more naturally? Either will work, because one way or another, you will do this. It’s only Human – and Klingon – nature. qo’mey poSmoH Hol.

| Today’s podcast is brought to you by Buffalito Contingency by Lawrence M. Schoen.
Conroy has left Earth far behind and taken his hypnosis act beyond Human Space. It should be show business as usual, except for the energy being the size of a hundred suns that wants to study him, a plot to smuggle liquid gravity, a troupe of alien sex wrestlers, a hypnotized ghost, and Reggie his buffalito stuck in a saurian toilet… “If you like hilarity along with your mayhem, or perhaps mayhem with your hilarity, then Buffalito Contingency was written with you in mind.” — Walter Jon Williams, Nebula award-winning author “Buffalito Contingency‘s aliens were so alien I reveled in my humanity, and the humans were so human I resolved to revel in the moment. But the book was so entertaining that humanity and the moment took a walk while I finished a really good read.” — Howard Tayler, Hugo-nominated cartoonist & author |
