As for baS ghItlhwI', I have seen reference in canon (Voragh, please help me
find it) that this is the way tlhIngan Hol says "made of metal". We do not
put the Noun baS after ghItlhwI' as if it were an Adjective.
{De' ghItlhwI' jonta'}, let's guess at this one for another week. The one's
we have not yet figured out by then, I'll give away. Then, you all can try
your hand at how you would have translated them, if not merely with asterisks
around the English words.
{jen} means "be high" according to TKD. In several other languages I know,
there is only one word for "be high" and for "be tall". I don't feel
comfortable with {runHa'}, except for describing a person's stature as "not
short".
{QuQ qoDDaq nIn meQmeH Hujchu'bogh pat mIqta'}: First of all, {Huj} has
another meaning besides "strange, bizarre".
chol choS. jIQochbe', SuStel. chollaH Dochmey. chollaHbe' poH 'e' wIHar.
{wej}. They've traveled back in time, along with everything they own,
providing it's been invented in the new time frame??? Almost. They are in
the present world, but without any of the inventions or subsequent inventions
of the previous time.
{lupwI' nubwI'}. Unless we've proven that TKD's {nubwI'} is a typo for
{nungwI'}, read up on what it means!
Elevator: Does the English word say anything about "lowering people"? I
kinda like my translation, {nuvpu' SalmoHwI'}. I might leave of the
pluralizer next time.
{pIn'a'} has been used for "boss" to distinguish it from merely {pIn},
"director/foreman".
{jabbI'ID ngaSwI'} should become {QInmey ngaSwI'} I suppose. You asked, "What
sort of message require a special type of container to hold them?" Earth
mail. This story is about a celebration here on Earth. Dr. Love, who wrote
this story as a tribute during Black History Month (February), may never have
heard of tlhIngan Hol.
{nganpu' qIj Hutlhchugh tera', ghu' ngu' Theo}: tlhIngan Hol not only does
not focus on tenses, it does not focus on voices. This sentence was designed
with subjunctive mood resounding throughout my brain. I would like to revise
the second half of the sentence: pIm tera' ghu' 'e' tlhoj Theo.
For those of you who are reading down to the last line:
qIjbe'chugh wo'rIv Dabogh loD, Michael Dorn, chay' mavang je maH? chay'
maruch je maH? chay' majech? chay' qabDu'maj DIDIj?
