On November 19, 1996 I received the following reply:
Qo'! moHchu' mu'meyvam DuDlu'bogh! Holmey yIchevtaH!
I refuse to take macaronic Klinglish seriously.
-- ghunchu'wI'
Now granted I will agree that the way I presented it here on the list is
different then I intend to present it in my book. I plan on having a
section called terminology that would go something like this:
Terminology
Great Teacher - ghojmoHwI''a'
Teacher - ghojmoHwI'
Asst. Teacher - ghojmoHwI'Hom
Student - ghojwI'
Senior Student - DevwI'
Junior Student - tlha'wI'
Sparring - qeq SuvmeH
Then I will be having a section describing customs.
When two students are ready to spar the Senior Student makes the following
inquiry:
choSuvrup'a'
This means "Are you prepared to fight me?"
The Junior Student then issues the following reply when ready:
qaSuvrup
This means "I am prepared to fight you!" Immediately after this reply is
issued fighting begins.
I would like to thank the BG for the suggestions. It was just the way I
was trying to present the Ideas in this list not how I am writing it in the
book. I will try to avoid macraonic Klingish again. I have looked at
your suggestion also to using tuSuvrup'a' instead of choSuvrup'a'.
However since I am only speaking in terms of two people I need cho instead
of tu which is the plural you. I have made the modification to make this a
little more clearer.
