Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
After yesterday’s difficult suffix I thought you might be feeling a bit cranky and in need of a treat. And that’s why I’m opening up Marc Okrand’s Klingon for the Galactic Traveler to give you a new verb. It’s lajQo’. L, A, J, Capital Q, O, Apostrophe. lajQo’ means reject. Sounds like a good verb if you’re in a sour mood. Let’s try it out with some practice sentences:
chatlh wIlajQo’ ’ej jabwI’ wIHoH
we rejected the soup and killed the waiter
mulajQo’mo’ be’nI’lI’ jIchechchoH
because your sister rejected me, I got drunk
reH yIHmey tIlajQo’
always reject tribbles
When you use a little bit of Klingon every day, then you automatically find it easier to keep using it. The sounds, the grammatical patterns, the rules, they all come to you more easily. It’s not necessarily easy, but it is inevitable. Once you set yourself upon this path of daily language, you will open worlds. qo’mey poSmoH Hol.
Today’s podcast is brought to you by Buffalito Destiny by Lawrence M. Schoen.
“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
“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.”
