Re: KLBC 'ejDo'wIj
I overlooked a rather obvious mistake - I said 'ejDo'wIj twice instead of
'ejDo'maj! :|
New version of the poem then:
bathl Dat nuqeng 'ejDo'maj.
tera' wIpuvlaH qoj vulqan wIlenglaH.
jInepbe': nuloSvIp ngeHbej,
nughuHvIpba'mo' tlhIngan maH!
'ejDo'maj 'ut law' 'ethlmeymaj 'ut puS:
tera'Daq nuqemlaHbe' 'ethlmeymaj,
vulqanDaq nuqenglaHba'be' SuS!
nIteb yuQmey yotlaHbe' vaj!
DIcharghlaH nuchaw' 'ejDo'.
nuboQ nuHmey 'ej nuQaH toDuj,
'ach may'vo' nu'uch juHqo'
'ej yayvaD nutlhabmoH Duj!
pItlh!

>
> Our starship is more necessary than our swords:
> Our swords cannot bring us to Earth!
> A breeze will not carry us to Vulcan!
> A warrior cannot conquer planets alone!
>
> We can conquer them because the starship allows us to do so.
> Weapons assist us, and bravery helps,
> But the Homeworld holds us from battle
> And a vessel sets us free for triumph!
