Reply to Poetry subject
It will take a bit of research to find the roots or the words, but there was
an article once on the Jabb, citing the meanings of a number of the archaic
little words, I think I remember...brillig was 'bright, or sunny', gyre is
gyrate or spin, gimbol is similar to gyre, I think it is with more wobble, as
in an eccentric stellar body orbit...Anyway, once Carroll is rendered into
the "modern" tongue....then it can be rendered into the TRUE toungue (we are
a mathematical species yes 'a') . K

A challenging subject for Klingon poetry would be Lewis Carroll's
"Jabberwocky." I saw marvelous translations into French and Germany.
(Well, I don't speak either of those languages, but the person
citing them points out how the "synthetic words" were similar in
derivation to those in English.)
How about it? What would
'Twas brillg and the slithy toves
did gyre and gimbal in the wabe, ...
be in Klingon?
