This is my first posting to tlhIngan-Hol (of many, I'm sure). I've been
learning tlhIngan Hol in solitude (as I'm sure most of were at first) but now
I can hone my skills. A little about myself - I'm a chemical engineer,
married, 2 kids (who both mastered bIjatlh 'e' yImev very quickly!) I don't
yet have a tlhIngan name. (is it required?)
I just read the welcoming transmission nd was a little confused by the
following statement:
> I don't expect rudeness to be a problem on the tlhIngan-Hol list, but I
won't allow
> it to become one, either.
I thought tlhInganpu' were rude (OK, curt) by nature. I assume this
prohibition does not apply to mu'qaD veS. :-)
It must be difficult adhering to a fixed lexicon. There are so many things I
want to say but there are no words available. At some point, tlhIngan Hol
will become larger than KLI, Paramount, or even (dare I say it) Okrand
himself. At that point it will truly become a living language with new words
being introduced or adapted as necessary. But until that time, I will
continue to expand my dictionary as "proper" words make themselves known to
me.
