Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
Time once more to open the pages of Marc Okrand’s Klingon for the Galactice Traveler and select an exciting new noun. Today’s choice is letlh. L, E, TLH. letlh means stairs or stairway. I told you it would be exciting! Now, check these out:
char nov letlh
the alien’s staircase is slimy
bIqanqu’mo’ letlh Dalo’be’
because you are very old, you don’t use stairs
letlh Datu’laHbe’mo’ manarghlaHbe’
because you couldn’t find the stairway we could not esacpe
It’s easy to make up silly sentences, is it not? Not every phrase you construct needs to suitable for an epic tale. It’s enough that you practice putting words together, and sometimes when you do that you’ll end up with some pretty foolish sounding stuff. Don’t let it bother you. It’s all part of opening worlds with language. 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 |
