Re: [Tlhingan-hol] keeping "KLI folklore" words in word lists
<div dir="ltr">I have an idea. Picture a graph where a word has associated symbols marking it as significant in different ways, like #canon and #st3, or #noun or #verb (I guess I'm describing what's popularly called "tagging.")<div><br></div><div>It would then be pretty trivial to expose via e.g. web UI a way for regular folks like us to be able to search and filter based on any of these adjectives.</div><div><br></div><div>For the CS folks, a further elaboration on this idea might be to find interesting relationships between words and start to map those out (either automatically, or let users do it wiki-style.) Then it goes past tagging and starts to look more like a semantic network.</div><div><br></div><div>I got to thinking about this because I found myself really wanting some kind of rudimentary syntax highlighting for writing Klingon when I kept saying absolutely the wrong thing with typos. That got me thinking about where I was going to get the data, which I can't take from the book for copyright reasons.

Only the word {petqaD} "medical device to bond broken bones", where Okrand only said:<br>
"Maltz said it was a good word, though sort of technical."<br>

He wanted to have a look at other words, but probably forgot about that.<span class=""><br>
