KLBC: cheghta' muHwI' !



heh heh heh... cheghta' muHwI' !

DaH loQ qayu'.
* * * * * * * * * 
heh heh heh... *muHwI'* is back!
While I was not here I was thinking about Klingon a lot.
Now I have some questions.

---> Curses
While I was reading my TKD I tried to analyze {Qu'vatlh} and tried to
find something like a "translation". {Qu'} means quest or mission.
{vatlh} means a hundred. So the origin of the word, centuries ago,
could have been something about "hundred missions". I would be
really angry about so much work.
In the curse {ghuy'cha'} one can find {cha'}. In many of the languages 
that I speak, I have discovered curses which include a word meaning 
"twice" or "double".

---> mu'qaDmey
tlhIngan mu'ghomwIj vIlaDtaHvIS *Qu'vatlh* vIpoj vInID 'ej vImugh vInID.
*Qu'* QIjlu': Qu'. *vatlh* QIjlu': wa', pagh, pagh. chaq mu' mung 'oH *vatlh
Qu'*'e'.
jIvumnISchugh jIQeHbej.
*ghuy'cha'*-mu'qaDDaq *cha'* tu'lu'. Holmey vISov... (?) 

---> Gagh
In TKW on page 141, they talk about Gagh, and on the same page
they show a picture of some food which I don't know but it surely 
is NOT Gagh. So what is it? I couldn't find anything similar on KCD.
* * * * * * * * * 
---> qagh
tlhIngan tIgh paqDaq qagh jatlhlu' 'ej *picture* cha' 'ach *picture*Daq qagh
cha'be'.
Sojvetlh vISovbe'bej. Dochvam nuq? *KCD*Daq vItu'laHbe' je.

---> {tu'lu'be'} or {tu'be'lu'}
{QuvlIjDaq yIH tu'be'lu'jaj} is what they say on PK. {-be'} is a rover
suffix,
so why is it after {tu'} and not at the end, like {tu'lu'be'} ?
       {tu'} = "to find"                ||       {tu'} = "to find"  
    {tu'lu'} = "one finds it"         ||   {tu'be'} = "he/she finds it not"
{tu'lu'be'} = "one finds it not"   || {tu'be'lu'} = "one finds it not"
So what is the difference?
* * * * * * * * * 
---> *tu'lu'be'* *tu'be'lu'* ghap
*PK*Daq *QuvlIjDaq yIH tu'be'lu'jaj* jatlh. lengwI' *-be'*.
qatlh botlhDaq tu'lu' 'ej qatlh DopDaq tu'lu'be' ?
       {tu'} = "to find"                ||       {tu'} = "to find"  
    {tu'lu'} = "one finds it"         ||   {tu'be'} = "he/she finds it not"
{tu'lu'be'} = "one finds it not"   || {tu'be'lu'} = "one finds it not"
pIm nuq?

---> Klingon
My last question is just how is my klingon?
* * * * * * * * * 
---> tlhIngan Hol
chay' 'oH tlhIngan HolwIj'e' ?
