=>Hi,
=>I think I understand. I did not know that there is a Klingon poetry
=>book available....now for the next question....where can I buy it???
=It's not available and it's not for sale.
No, but there *will* be poetry aplenty in the Shakespearean works to be
published by the KLI, drafts of which are available on our ftp site
(HablI.tamu.edu)
=The discussion here hinges on a
=file that Nick Nicholas has prepared: just a list of the Klingon words in
=order by the *ends* of the words, i.e. in an order such that "rhyming"
=words are near each other in the lexicon (for some definition of "rhyming";
=probably a fairly English-y one).
Rhyme is rhyme; the definition of rhyme is not at issue. If anything *is*
at issue, it's whether rhyme is relevant to Klingon poetics. Until a Klingon
pops along, taps me on the shoulder, and tells me otherwise, I will continue
to use it; for a alliterative alternative to rhyme, see the Hecuba speech
in my translation of Hamlet.
Incidentally, I'm going to resort the file so that now it's a true rhyming
list. It's still not getting published, but if you want the code and have
a word list, I'll make the code available.
Nick.
