{Day joH} Lady Di
DaH nuq ta'pu' Day joH
What has Lady Di done now?
From the Radio Times' "Star Trek 30th Anniversary Special" book.
{qeylIn} Kahlin
{qeylor} Kahlor
Example names to illustrate naming conventions from startrek.klingon (9/1997), otherwise unknown in Trek:
To say "Kahlor of the House of Molor" (or, if you prefer, "Kahlor from the House of Molor"), you'd say simply "Kahlor, House of Molor" {qeylor molor tuq}. If you want to be even more formal, the name of the father may be used as well... "Kahlor, son of Kahlin, of the House of Molor" is "Kahlor, son of Kahlin, House of Molor" {qeylor qeylIn puqloD molor tuq}. The other way is actually more formal and a bit formulaic. To say "Kahlor is of the House of Molor" (or "Kahlor is from the House of Molor"), you could say {tay' qeylor molor tuq je} ... If Kahlor is speaking, he could say, "I am of the House of Molor" {matay' jIH molor tuq je}. Or if one were speaking to Kahlor, one could say, "You are of the House of Molor" {Sutay' SoH molor tuq je}.
{qunI'vaS} Kunivas
Spelling from TKW of a character in TNG "Heart of Glory"
