Re: KLBC Intro: Part two



I had sent two previous questions to the list, and had not seen them, or any 
response to them. Perhaps they were lost in the changeover from digest mode 
to the list proper. I will repeat them here, as I still need/want responses 
to them.


wa'DIch:
nuqDaq De'vam tu'lu'  ?  neH yuQmeH SeghmeH 'ej  lo'taH 'a' ?

(I think I have that right...I want to know where the rules governing usage 
of the -ngan (inhabitant of) suffix are located, and if it is used only with 
planets to describe races.)


cha'DIch:
tera'ngan vIttlhegh tIQ 'e' vImugh vInIDtaH. jImughchu' ' e' choja' vIneH.

" jIQIj 'e' DaneHchugh vaj not bIyajchu' . "

The ancient Terran proverb is "If I have to explain, you would not 
understand." The translation seems that it would not be quite literal, rather 
implying that if you need me to explain it for you, then you will never 
really understand it.
