Re: [Tlhingan-hol] Do you, personally, accept non-Okrandian Klingon?
<div dir="ltr">I, personally, do accept (and sometimes but seldom) use Klingonized names for people and places, though I chose not to choose a Klingon name for myself. When I write in Klingon (as on my blog) I sometimes change names of people and sometimes leave them as they are; it depends. I also sometimes used to combine words as compounds (I used {mI'QeD} for mathematics, I think), but I wouldn't completely invent a new word out of thin air.<br>
On my translations on Tatoeba I stick with the canon words and personally don't even use transcribed names, there, while some others do (which is fine).<br><br>- André <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/3/13 Robyn Stewart <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:[email protected]"; target="_blank">[email protected]</a>></span><br>

I have a feeling that most of the group here only uses words invented by<br>
Okrand.<br>
<br>
Sure, there's the Extended Corpus Project <a href="http://kli.org/stuff/ECP.html"; target="_blank">http://kli.org/stuff/ECP.html</a> But<br>
it discounts those words itself, "Most of the words here are not properly<br>
part of the Klingon language as considered by speakers of the language (they<br>
even have sounds not in Klingon),..."<br>
<br>
But what about words that authors invent for their books that are in the<br>
tlhIngan Hol style?<br>
Keith R. A. DeCandido has plenty of Klingon words in his novels that weren't<br>
created by Okrand.<br>
<br>
<br>
But more importantly, what about the upcoming How to Speak Klingon Audio<br>
Phrasebook by Ben Grossblatt.<br>

dio-phrasebook/</a><br>
<br>
Ben is not Marc.<br>
Not really sure who Ben is; but CBS approved his book.<br>
<br>
I'm looking forward to learning how to say "You bludgeon divinely."<br>
