Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
You’ll be happy to know that I’ve managed to escape my Canadian captors via a dazzling display of verbal suffixes. I’ll be heading home, but before I get there, here’s an assortment of new vocabulary and a practice dialogue between me and my good friend QIb. Ready?
The nouns are:
bel / pleasure
maS / moon
quS / chair
The verbs are:
jegh / surrender
magh / betray
QaH / help
QIb: qatlh jeghta’ / why did he surrender?
’angghal: maSmaj HubmeH nuQaH / so he could help us defend our moon
QIb: ’ach HoD maghba’’a’ / but didn’t he obviously betray the captain?
’angghal: ghobe’ HoD quS tlhap neH / no here merely took the captain’s chair
QIb: qatlh HoD be’nal tlhapbe’ta’ / why didn’t he take the captain’s wife?
’angghal: bel nob quS / the chair gave him pleasure
QIb: maS vIyajlaH ’ach not be’nal vIyaj / I can understand the moon, but I’ll never understand the wife
That’s all there is to it. Six new vocabulary items, and a short practice conversation illustrating how you might use them. Practice this conversation, first one side, than the other. Try swapping out this noun or that verb and see how it feels to transform it into a completely different conversation. Keep at it until you’re comfortable with every line, and remember, 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
