jatlhpu' De'vID:<br>> I have a recollection of reading somewhere that MO was asked how to<br><div>> translate "jolly good [fellow]", and his replied contained {Quchqu'}<br>> and a remark that Troi (in the STTNG episode "Parallels") was wrong to<br>> say that Klingon doesn't have a word for "jolly". Was it in an issue<br>> of HolQeD? On a mailing list? Or am I imaging things?<br><br>I'm not familiar with any such remark in text or otherwise, but that doesn't mean much. I do know that one of the photos in KGT (I believe page 204, though I don't have my physical copy here) shows Beverly holding a birthday cake and Worf looking, well, Worfian. The caption to that photo says something like "Worf's expression says it all: there is no Klingon word for 'jolly'." I don't know if Marc wrote the captions to the KGT photos or if someone else was responsible, as with the footnotes to the paq'batlh.<br><br>At any rate, Troi was raised on Betazed, not on Earth... maybe the happy "jolly" vs. intensifier "jolly" mistake could be put down to an overly literal translation on her part? :)<br><br>QeS<br></div> </div></body>
