Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.

Today’s noun is Ha’DIbaH. Capital H, A, Apostrophe, Capital D, Capital I, A, Capital H. Ha’DIbaH means animal. We’ve been talking about all sorts of animals for quite a while, so it’s long past time you had a word that described them all.

Ha’DIbaHmey vISopbe’
I don’t eat animals

muvuvbe’ Ha’DIbaHlIj
your animal does not respect me

motlh Ha’DIbaHmey tInqu’ wIHoH ‘ach not mughato’mey wIHoHbe’
we usually kill very big animals but we never kill mugatos


Can you imagine how you might feel if you woke up one morning and could only speak Klingon? If your command of all other languages had vanished and your fluency with the warriors’ tongue was off the charts? And what if no one around you could understand the words coming out of your mouth? What’s the first thing you might try to say to them, to bridge the gap? 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.”
