Does anyone (D'Armond?) have a compendium of child-related vocabulary,
perhaps with some work-arounds for specific baby terminology?
I know there are at lest a few of us on the list who are newly arrived at
parenthood, and it would be nice to benefit from the wisdom of those who
have gone before.
It might even be nice to make a section of the website about using Klingon
with children, to include key vocabulary, some kid-friendly songs (I have a
lullaby to start that section off), and some stories. It would be
particularly nice to make a few Klingon-language picture books (I have most
of the text of one worked out, though I would require the assistance of
someone with an artistic bent if I want to finish that project). If we
actually published a Klingon picture book, it would double as both a
resource for beginners and a coffee-table curiosity for nonspeakers, so I
think its probably worthwhile.
I will start by listing all the baby-related vocab I can think of off the
top of my head:
Completely canonical vocab:
ghu - baby
SoS - mother
SoSoy - mommy
vav - father
vavoy - daddy
puqloD - son
puqbe' - daughter
(All other family relationship terms also)
paq - book
nIm - milk
ghung - be hungry
Say' - be clean
lam - be dirty
QaD - be dry
bol - drool
bom - sing/song
rop - be ill/sick
Hagh - laugh
ghoj - learn
parHa' - like
par - dislike
Quch - be happy
chuS - be noisy
tam - be quiet
(body parts)
(clothing)
reH - play
Quj - play a game
attempts at glossing baby specific terms:
Crib - ghu QongDaq (baby bed) or mo' QongDaq (cage bed)
bottle - ghu Hivje' (baby drinking glass - sippy cup also?) or nIm ngaSwI'
(milk container)
Diaper - ghu yopwaH (baby pants) or puch yopwaH (toilet pants)
toy - reHvaD Doch (item for playing)
stuffed animal - Sajqoq tun (soft fake pet)
I would particularly appreciate feedback on the attempted glosses,
especially other suggested translations, and terms people have used for
these or other baby items/activities. (also please let me know if there is
a canon term for something I've tried to gloss).
