[Tlhingan-hol] nuq bop bom: 'ay' wa'vatlh chorgh: <Qel De' lI'>

So, I'm back from Indiana (where, by the way, I watched A Klingon
Chrismas Carol, an impressive feat of Klingon language presentation by a
cast that does not themselves speak Klngon. Most of the time the dialogue
was clearly understandable without reference to the surtitles, except
that the Vulcan narrator deliberately used a Federation Standard accent
when citing Klingon phrases, such as "hipdock," a mystery to me
until I checked the projected translation and saw "red shirt."
If you're not crazy enough to travel to the event, you might look into
getting the DVD they are distributing of last year's production. The more
people order them, the quicker they will reach the required number of
orders and press them, so that I get mine. :-)<br><br>
This 'ay' begins a new 'ay''a', so I will recap the end of 'ay''a' vagh,
which from Captain vajar's point of view this immediately follows. vajar
and crew, pretty much stranded in space on a disabled ship, had
participated in the Heghbat tay of First Officer 'ungya and then spent
the following several hours drinking heavily. They detected an incoming
scan, which they all but ignored thanks to numerous preceding false
alarms, and then the marginally functional sensor array detected an
incoming ship. Hota'ro' passed out drunk while trying to raise shields
and as ghutar tried to man her console he warned of a transporter beam.
vajar saw the air sparkle, and then there was someone next to him,
swinging something at his head just as he fell unconscious.<br><br>

SKI: vajar wakes up in a Klingon sickbay and is briefed by the doctor on
his and his crew's condition.<br>
----<br>
[48] Oops, the last week was all a dream! (I promise not to do that to
you).<br>
[49] On the first pass she lied about this here, and I had to go through
a whole thing about why, before I realized that she wouldn't have lied
anyway. There are so many things I spent so much time figuring out before
I realized that they weren't figureoutable because they were wrong.<br>
[141] I wrestled with latlh here, taking it in and out, but in the end
decided that the doctor knows that alcohol is a poison, even if his
statement may slightly confuse vajar. Also it just seems to fit for me
that the doctor would brief the commanding officer on the crew's medical
conditions. I think the soldiers themselves are told "You are fit to
work today" or "You stay in sickbay one more day." A
different definition of "confidentiality of medical
information." </body>
