Here you go. Unfortunately there are *no* attestations of the verb rIn in
Okrandian canon, only in its idiomatic use as "Over" and as rIntaH.
rIn be accomplished, be finished (cf. rIntaH)
- Yej rhin "Council is adjourned!" (House of Quark) <--- FWIW
rIn "over" (radio comm)
- Dujvetlh 'oH nuq? rIn. What ship is that? Over. tongDuj 'urSva maH. jav
Hogh maH Qo'noSvo'. rIn. We am thy freighter... Ursva... Six weeks out of
Kronos. [Over.] (sic!) nuqDaq ghoS? rIn. What is your destination? Over.
rura' penteDaq Soj Doch <yuS> vIqIch. rIn. We is condemning food...things
and supplies to Rura Penthe. Over. (sic!) ST6
rIntaH It is accomplished! It is done! (cf. pItlh)
- luHoH rIntaH They have killed him. TKD
- vIje' rIntaH I have purchased it. TKD
- qa'vam De' vIje' rIntaH I have purchased the Genesis Data. ST3
pItlh Done! It's done! I've done it! I've finished! All done! All finished!
["a common exclamation uttered upon the completion of a project" KCD] (cf.
rIntaH)
- jabbI'ID pItlh Transmission completed. ST3
- All the crew said, "pItlh." STK (novel)
IMPORTANT:
A general note to all: I'm always willing to answer usage questions like
this as it only takes a minute to cut and paste into a reply. But please be
aware that I don't read *every* message of *every* thread on this mailing
list and any others I subscribe to. (I get between 200-300 emails per day
between work and play.) If I don't reply to message thread within a couple
of days, chances are I'm just not following it. So, if you want me to
consult my notes, always Cc: me personally or ask separately. My mailer
flags messages sent to me directly so I can distinguish personal mail versus
mail received from a listserv (a VERY useful feature!).
