Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
Today we have the last of our guest interviews with Klingon speakers, recorded live at this year’s qep’a’ wa’maH chorghDIch, the 18th annual Klingon Language Conference.
* * *
LS: And we’re back at the qep’a’ with a relative newcomer to the Klingon language, Andrew Miller, known locally as ’enru’, is going to tell us his favorite Klingon word.
AM: Well, one of my many favorite words is ‘urmang and it means treason.
LS: How is it spelled?
AM: It’s spelled Apostrophe, U, R, M, A, NG.
LS: And would you use it in a sentence please?
AM: Okay, this is a quotation from one of Queen Elizabeth I’s courtiers, John Harrington, in Klingon it’s
qatlh not ’urmang
chepchugh ’urmang pong ’e’ ngIl pagh
Treason doth never prosper.
What’s the reason?
Why, if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
LS: Fancy stuff! Thank you very much.

I hope you’ve enjoyed hearing from other Klingon speakers. Beginning next week, and for the rest of the year, I’ll be using Sundays to give you some extra words to help build up your vocabulary. Until then, remember, qo’mey poSmoH Hol. Language opens worlds.

| 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 |
