Music Tie-In - The Daily Klingon


The theme of Klingon music will be continued over at my tumblr Klingon blog, The Daily Klingon. I'll be posting a slew of Klingon vocabulary terms and phrases to that blog, coming out on a more or less daily basis.

The Daily Klingon - A Useful Resource

I run a tumblr blog, The Daily Klingon.

It does what it says on the tin.

Every evening, 9pm, something pops up on this blog.

Usually it's just a word or phrase or something.

This week (2014-12-22 - 2014-12-28) there will be something different.

This week coming, beginning tomorrow night, I am posting The Klingon Christmas Lectures.

The theme is Clauses.

Digital Human

Today, 2014 10 20, at 16:30 BST, BBC Radio 4 will broadcast a programme segment of the series Digital Human concentrating on languages. Specifically, constructed languages. Highly educational. Sapir-Whorf will be referenced.

The showrunner asked me if I would like to transcribe the episode into tlhIngan Hol, and I obliged him. My translation should appear on the Digital Human tumblr blog round about the time the show goes live.

Here are links.

vIttlhegh qaD

This week's post will be run in conjunction with my Daily Klingon tumblr qaDHom.

Here is the post.



Today's challenge is a challenge indeed. Today, I throw you in at the deep end.

You are familiar with how Klingon is littered with proverbs; there are aphorisms, saying, idioms and figures of speech covering a host of situations.

Today's challenge is this: come up with a new proverb.

This will be an entirely unofficial vIttlhegh, one which most likely will not be seen outside of tumblr or tlhIngan paQDI'norgh, but your candidate proverb must follow the following rules.

Originality: ghomer Surprise us. Example: Qapchugh Dup chu' Ho' Hoch; QapHa'chugh Dup chu' lIj pagh If it succeeds, everyone admires a new strategy; if it fails, noone forgets.

Spirit: tlhIngan qa' yIjon Capture the Klingon spirit

Your proverb must embrace some aspect of the Klingon heart. You could even submit a joke.

Example:

Qo'noSDaq paw tera'ngan. tlhIngan qIH. tlhob, "chay' vaS'a'Daq jIjaH?" jatlh tlhIngan, "yISuvchu' 'ej qagh Hegh yISopQo'."

And that's it.

There will be other qaDHommey on tumblr during this month - but this will be the main qaDHom for September. Final date for entries will be 2014 09 30. Submit through the submit box. Somebody tell me I've enabled the submit box.

Entries will be posted throughout the month. No prizes - you are doing this purely for the honour.

DachDI' latlh meqmey, quvvaD neH Hoch wIta'.

Qapla'.
