ghItlhpu' Qov, jatlh:<br>> I'm going to venture that the
more literary writing, striving to convey subtle meaning in translation<br>> has more affixes thus more qaghwI'mey while action adventure striving to
remain comprehensible<br>> to the maximum number of people has barer verbs.<br><br>Sounds about right. With action adventure, your noun and verb roots are carrying the meaning - you don't want subtle nuances that take time to digest, you want vivid imagery coming thick and fast.<br><br>jatlhqa':<br><div>> Another question from the Canadian Scrabble-maker:
<a href="http://www.creativetrophies.ca/"; target="_blank">
http://www.creativetrophies.ca<br></a>> "Another question, how would you advise me to make the tiles;
English and pIqaD letters and numbers<br>> to help learn Klingon and/or just
Klingon???"<br>> My thought is that if it's just pIqaD, beginners can have a cheat sheet
next to their tile rack and advanced<br>> pIqaD users can use their heads
alone, but if it's both, then our eyes will automatically see the Latin
and<br>> we won't learn pIqaD as well from it. What do you think?<br><br>I tend to agree. We have pIqaD, we have number symbols (and they're my greatest failing in pIqaD right now), and our brains will want to default into romanised because that's what we're used to. I think it'd be best if we had pIqaD-only. Perhaps a list of pIqaD-romanised equivalencies could be put down the sides of the board; on standard Scrabble boards there's always a list of the letter-points equivalencies, so how about just adding another column with the pIqaD characters?<br><br>QeS<br></div> </div></body>
