RE: wa'Hu' qepHom / KLBC
I apologize, but I am not familiar with ghach. muSHa' would be love... and
in knowing Hamlet and the Soliloquy, I can only think it is Dispised Love.
That would be a double negative, which I would think a problem in Klingon...
but then again, I am no expert. Anyone care to enlighten my poor
shakespearian eyes?

qepHom vItIvqu' 'ach puS ghotpu' jeSpu'.
a videpgrapher from a cable-access show wanted some footage of someone
speaking
the language. He asked me to read Hamlet's popular section from act III
scene
one. Beyound the first line I'm totally unfamiliar with the material (I've
never
read Shakespeare) So, I was merrily blasting through it, forcefully of
course,
when in the middle of the section I found <muSHa'ghach>. I was surprised. I
stopped, re-read it, then looked at the opposing page to read the English (I
sure wouldn't call it <DI'vI' Hol>) There was about 3 or 4 people watching
and
I'm mumbling to myself "muSHa'ghach? muSHa'ghach? aha! so there IS a noun
for
it! I knew it! I knew it! muSHa'ghach!!!!"
I wonder if that part gets broadcast.....hmmmm.... as they say....
