) P.S. While the spelling in the article of Klingon words is excellent, one
) phrase from Glen's translation has a grammatical error: vagh 'Iwchap cha'
) ghargh wIghaj. There's a missing "je" there, and it should obviously be
) "DIghaj".
I wish it was obvious to _me_. I can't parse that at all..
{DI/wIghaj} - we have them/it (If {ghargh} - serpent was the
object, {wI} would be correct. And if we're dealing with {cha'}
two serpents, aren't we missing a {-mey}?) {'Iwchap} is news to me.
Or maybe the serpent's displaying five {'Iwchap}s?
Maybe I should just ask: "What exactly do you think he _meant_ to write?"
Would the missing {je} go between {ghargh} and {DIghaj}?
Thanks,
