jIchegh. DuSaQ vIbuSqu'mo', jIghItlhlaHbe'. DaH DuSaQ vIbuSqu' je,
'ach QInmey vIlaD neH 'e' DalchoH. :)
laHwIj vIDub ('e' vInID) je: *ter'eS *KLIFlash* vIlo'. QaQqu'.
'ej jIqeqqu'mo' DaH "rolling tongue-R" vIjatlhlaH je... :)
=switching to English...=
{Dal} sounds an awful lot like "dull", in fact I was watching a film,
when suddenly someone seemed to say {Dal}. Only later I realized she
said "dull"... :)
When I was flipping through a Swahili grammar book, I noticed a noun
class that takes singular prefix "ji-" and plural prefix "ma-".
And puns I noticed while KLIFlashing:
{nIH}: I wonder if it's right for Klingons to steal...
{mI'}: In Dutch (maybe in English too, I don't know), a song is often
called a "number". One can dance on one.
Another one: while reading "Life, the Universe and Everything"
(Douglas Adams), in Slartibartfast's bitromatic ship, the numbers on
waiter's bill pads dance.
{tlhaS}: It made me think of the English word "clash", a word I'm not
particularly comfortable with, but which seems to be appropriate
here.
{qID} means joke... no kidding. :)
{loS}: wait fo(u)r. I know, this is probably just a coincidence, but
I thought I'd mention it anyway.
After all this, I hope I didn't bore you too much, because else I'm
probably going to {pay} for this... :)
