Re: KLIC: Adhere to

: express in Klingon "adheres to, sticks to"?
I don't recall the old discussion, but how about using {rar} "connect,
attach". Our only example from canon is a little complicated:
nISwI' HIch motlh HoS Hal qengwI' naQ tIq je lurarlu'bogh
'oH tlhIngan nISwI' beH'e'
The Klingon disruptor rifle is a standard hand held disruptor,
attached to an extended power supply stock. S14
If I've figured this out - I'm always confused seing {-lu'} and {-bogh}
together - this is:
[nISwI' HIch motlh] [HoS Hal qengwI' naQ tIq] je lurarlu'bogh
'oH [tlhIngan nISwI' beH'e']
A B je lurarlu'bogh 'oH C'e'.
("C is an attached A and B.")
"The label is stuck to the book" might be rendered:
per Hum paq je lurarlu'.
The sticky label is attached to the book.
("The sticky label and the book are attached.")
Depending on context, you might use {bagh} "tie", {muv} "join (physically)",
{tay'} "be together/united", etc.
Does that work?
