Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
Today’s verb is one that I swear you’ll like. It’s ’Ip. That’s Apostrophe, Capital I, P. ’Ip means vow or swear. Being the passionate people they are, Klingons need to be very good at swearing!
not ’Ip qoHpu’ neH
only fools never swear
’IpDI’ be’nalwI’ SoSwI’ rur
when my wife swears, she resembles my mother
bIqIDchugh bItlhuHqa’be’ ’e’ vI’Ip
if you tell a joke, I vow you will not breath again
You can swear all you want to in Klingon, because it counts as practicing your vocabulary, and if that’s what it takes to get you to practice, then that’s what you’ve got to do. That’s my vow to you! That, and qo’mey poSmoH Hol.
Today’s podcast is brought to you by Sweet Potato Pie, a collection of wonder and delight by Lawrence M. Schoen.
“Sweet Potato Pie†[is] weird and wonderful and will dig into you more with its strangeness than with its deep meaning, but as most stories don’t get a hold at all, that’s just fine.
— Matthew M. Foster, Tangent
Lawrence Schoen’s “The Amulet of Winter†is at the top level a quite entertaining story.
— Rich Horton, Fantasy Magazine
“The Sky’s the Limit†is the perfect mixture of humor and suspense.
— Sherwood Smith, author of the Inda series
