DCKL translation problems: {tlhogh}

Lieven L. Litaer (Quvar) ([email protected]) [KLI Member] [Hol ghojwI']



does {tlhogh} "marriage"
mean
a) the state of being united:
       {Qapbe'chu' tlhoghmaj}
or
b) the act of marrying:
       {wa'Hu' tlhoghmaj wIlop}

Actually, the problem is not the klingon, or the english, it's the german! Very often an english word 
can mean two different things, which are translated into german with two different words. Here we 
have "Ehe" and "Hochzeit, Heirat". 

Quvar.
