Title: Not Even K'Hare is Perfect
Post by M`rek on Feb 2nd, 2005, 10:31pm

(Please Read All)

As anyone would make a mistake, even K'Hare can.

I was looking at the Brackets today and for some time I had been curious on what the names of the Brackets meant.  I still am not well versed in the Klingon Language but I have a Klingon Dictionary.  

It wasn't until today that my curiosity got to best of me and I translated the names.  

Apparently the Brackets are supposed to be named by color.

SuD = green, blue, yellow.
chIS = white
qIj = black

Now here is the mistake, and I can understand how it was made.

DoQ = claim (territory)
Where as
Doq = orange, red.

The one used in the name was DoQ.    ;D

;D  I have to say though.  My HoD seems very happy.    ;D

Interesting. Klingons have one word for blue, green, and yellow. So I suppose they use qualifiers to tell which shade they mean.

So...

"SuD Hurgh" would be 'pickle green', 'cucumber green'... or just 'dark green/blue/yellow'

Right, Tauvits? ;)

Edit: Klingon language game: What would it mean if a group of Klingons were cheering "yay! yay!" at the tournament?

I know! I know!  But that would be cheating.

Roughly translated, I beleve that means, "Oh darn, I beleve that will be something of a setback."

...dark. Definitely dark. Without a doubt.

(...silly language anyway)

Um, maybe if they were cheering in general, but I'm talking about specifically cheering "yay!"

Someone check my Klingon:
yay nuHeghchoHmeHwI' ghapqu'!

Edit: That is, of course, the Chang version. What I really meant was:

yay nuHeghchoHmeHwI' joqqu'!

(also added the -wI' suffix)

Good catch.  The word was altered in translation.. or maybe I just speak with a bit of the lithp.

Ta'pez. you are really nasty.  If you don't win over Q'ol, Q'ol will have a lot of material to rub back in your face.

The fact that Tappy thinks I'm impaired means I am doing something right.   As long as he keeps thinking it, then I know I am doing as I should.
