I'm trying to translate a text into Klingon, and am stuck by a couple of
simple concepts. How do I say:
ear (hear-thing? hear-body-part?)
shape (something based on chen, meaning "that which has taken form"?
Actually, what I'm trying to translate is the notion of "form" in the sense
of Buddhist philosophy, i.e. rupa. I'm not sure myself what it means, but
physical shape has something to do with it.)
Yes, it's a Buddhist text I'm translating. If you think "ear" and "shape"
are easy, how about "the twelve links of conditioned co-production"? :-)
I've got most of the text translated, but next time I'll try something less
abstruse.
