Re: Klingon WOTD: tu'lu' (v)
: Klingon word: tu'lu'
: Part of Speech: verb
: Definition: there is
{tu'lu'} in canon:
naDev puqpu' tu'lu'
there are children around here
someone/something finds children here. TKD
"When [{-lu'} is] used with the verb {tu'} 'find, observe' and a third-person
singular subject pronoun (0), the resulting verb form {tu'lu'}
'someone/something finds it' is often translated by English 'there is'." (TKD
p.39)
naDev tlhInganpu' tu'lu'
There are Klingons around here. TKD
At qep'a' loSDIch, "Robyn Stewart's idea of {lutu'lu'} as the Klingon version
of 'whom' got a nod and an explicit lack of contradiction [from Okrand]. {naDev
tlhInganpu' lutu'lu'} is grammatical, but the {lu-} is more often left off."
(ghunchu'wI')
"... in [American] English, most people use the word 'who' when formally they
should be using 'whom', much like most Klingons use the word {tu'lu'} when they
should be using {lutu'lu'}. In other words, the more formally correct sentence
is {tlhInganpu' lutu'lu'} though most Klingons most of the time would say
{tlhInganpu' tu'lu'}." (charghwI')
