Type 9: verb suffixes: Syntactic markers
-mo’ because This suffix is identical to the Type 5 noun suffix -mo’ and has the same meaning, due to, because of. bIganmo’ because you are old (gan be old) Heghpu’mo’ yaS because the officer died (Hegh die, yaS officer) -jaj may This suffix is used to express a desire or wish on the part of the speaker that something take place in the future. When it is used, there is never a Type 7 aspect suffix, -jaj is often translated with may or let, and it is particularly useful when placing a curse or making a toast.
jaghpu’lI’ DaghIjjaj may you scare your enemies (jaghpu’lI’ your enemies, ghIj scare) tlhonchaj chIljaj may they lose their nostrils (tlhonchaj their nostrils, chIl lose) -ghach nominalizer In Klingon, there are many instances of nouns and verbs being identical in form (e.g., ta’ accomplishment, accomplish). It is not known if all verbs can be used as nouns, but it is known that verbs ending in suffixes (such as -Ha’ undo in lobHa’ disobey) can never be nouns. The Type 9 suffix -ghach, however, can be attached to such verbs in order to form nouns. Compare the following sets:
lo’ use (noun) (lo’ use, make use of) lo’laHghach value (lo’laH be valuable) lo’laHbe’ghach worthlessness (lo’laHbe’ be worthless) naD commendation (naD commend) naDHa’ghach discommendation (naDHa’ discommend) naDqa’gha’ch re-commendation (naDqa’ commend again)
OTHER KINDS OF WORDS ADVERBIALS The list of adverbials given in the original dictionary can be expanded by the addition of the following:
ghaytan likely jaS differently nIteb alone, acting alone, on one’s own pe’vIl forcefully SIbI’ immediately The earlier belief that adverbials come only at the beginning of sentences turns out to be not quite accurate. For a more correct description, see Section 6.7.
There is a second word (in addition to neH only, merely) which fits into this category despite its very peculiar behavior:
jay’ intensely This word not only intensifies whatever is being said, it turns the whole phrase into an invective. Alone among the adverbials, jay’ always comes at the end of the sentence.
EXCLAMATIONS As it turns out, cursing is a fine art among Klingons. There are many more curses than those three listed in the earlier edition of the dictionary. It is not always clear how to use the curses, but some are certainly epithetical (used for name-calling), while others seem to have a more general application. A few additional curses are listed below.
Qovpatlh |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The invective va is actually just a shortened form of Qu’vatlh. Note also that the adverbial jay’ intensely is invective in force (Section 5.4.).
SYNTAX
QUESTIONS
Tag questions (ending a statement with a question such as “right?” or “isn’t that so?”) are formed by using the verb gar be accurate plus the suffix -’a’ interrogative. This word either follows the verb or else comes at the end of the sentence. Both of the following are correct:
De’ Sov qar’a’ HoD | |
De’ Sov HoD qar’a’ | The captain knows the information, right? (De’ information, Sov he/she knows it, HoD captain) |
