What does 'AAAAHHKKKK' mean?

I think it means, "I was going to say something, but your Bat'leth (sp?) just cut me off at the throat".

Or maybe even, in a sick, sick way, "Nice Throw!"

vaj'Bilegh'pu'!
nadev tlhingan pu'tu'lu!

I don't think this is a nit for the Dictionary, but rather for the entire TNG series!!

The sword Worf so *often* calls a bat'leth is actually a batlhetlh or possibly batlh'etlh (honor sword) and is pronounced nothing like Worf pronounces it. Bat'leth isn't even possible as a word in Klingon since Klingon doesn't have a "th" sound in it.

Also, tlhingan...the Klingon word for Klingon, would indicate their homeworld's name is tlhi...as a Terran is a tera'ngan, Terra is tera'...a Romulan is a romuluSngan, and Romulus romuluS (they obviously have been borrowing English words...) So where in all heck did they get Kronos from? QonoS, the closest word I could find, means journal!

So which do we believe, the language invented in 1985, *before* TNG began, or the later butchering of the language by TNG because the words were possibly to hard to pronounce?

I have always used the orginal klingon as written in the Dictionary and used by Mark Leonard in TMP.

::Also, tlhingan...the Klingon word for Klingon, would indicate their homeworld's name is tlhi...as a Terran is a tera'ngan, Terra is tera'::

Nah, the Klingons just add a from-this-planet suffix that derives from their word "tlhingan,"* but that doesn't point to "tlhi" as any meaningful root word ... Analogue: English-speakers add "-aholic" (or "-oholic") as an addicted-to-it suffix, but that doesn't mean that "alc" is what alcoholics are addicted to.


* at least, that's how I read it. YMMV.

You have shamed me deeply by mentioning my speech impediment on an open board, Princess Artemis. Choose the weapon, Bat'letsh or Mek'letsh?

LOL!
