Word: Is there a word to describe systemhood in terms of DID?

Category:

Description/Reason:

I am a system myself, and I don't know how to describe that in Kilngon. But I am quite a new speaker though so there could be a very easy way to say it and I am just being dumb lol. I have tried looking online but I haven't found it so this is my last chance.

  1. Though the underlying idea is valid to ask about, suggestions should ideally be formatted more succinctly. I also suggest posing a question in the KLI Discord server before posting to the chabal tetlh about a complex psychological term like this.
    DID is dissociative identity disorder. It's probably best to address how to say this first. There are several options; with the caveat that there is no direct equivalent in Klingon for 'dissociation', 'identity', or 'personality':
    {'Inyam law' HarqIn} "many self condition"
    {cha' 'Inyam HarqIn} "two self condition"
    {lochbogh 'Inyam HarqIn} "fractional self condition"
    Multiple specific Klingon terms, tailored on a case-by-case basis, might be appropriate where English uses one term (DID). Words like {yab} "mind" and {Dotlh} "status" might also be apt descriptors somewhere in the noun phrase.
