Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
We end the month with a very attractive verb, ’IH. Apostrophe, Capital I, Capital H. ’IH means be handsome or be beautiful. It’s a lovely word, with all sorts of uses.
bImonDI’ bI’IHchoH
when you smile, you become beautiful
mughato’wIj ’IH law’ vavlI’ ’IH puS
my mugato is more handsome than your father
nuch HoHmeH ’IHqu’ betleH ’ach nISwI’ yIwIv
for killing a coward, a bat’lath is very beautiful, but choose a disruptor
I’m wondering if you’ll use today’s word as an opportunity to talk with someone you wouldn’t normally speak to in Klingon. Pick a person to say “you’re beautiful” to, and do so in Klingon. And when that person asks what you said, you suddenly have an opening to to talk about, and in, Klingon. And you know what they say about openings, don’t you? 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.”
