[Tlhingan-hol] O for a Muse of fire

De'vID jonpIn ([email protected])



<p>At the qepHom in Saarbrücken, MO gave us a hint on Gowron&#39;s speech from the opening of the  Star Trek: Klingon computer game.  He said it&#39;s the opening lines of a Shakespearean play.  </p>
<p>After some effort, maHvatlh (Zrajm) and I figured out that the play is Henry V.  The opening line is:</p>
<p>&#39;o &#39;oghlu&#39;meH qul<br>
O for a Muse of fire</p>
<p>MO confirmed the play and the correctness of that specific line.  However, we were not able to recover the original beyond this other than a few scattered words and fragments.</p>
<p>Also, a subsequent search revealed that qurgh had made the same conjecture about the identity of the passage earlier. </p>
<p>Does anyone wants to look at that passage from Henry V and give a go at reconstructing the original Klingon?</p>
