Greetings to the Klingon Language List. I'm Bill Willmerdinger, and I have
the dubious honor of being the originator of the tagline list that David
Barron cross-posted from the Fidonet KLINGON echo. I claim only partial
responsibility, though: much of that list of taglines was stolen. (I'm
working on revising it now).

Uu> This reminds me of the word for "light". We have words for
Uu> "twilight", "moonlight" which are nouns, but no simple noun for
Uu> "light" as in what comes from a lamp. There is only the verb, "wov".
Uu> I see something of a pattern here.
I still need words or phrases to let me express "thunder" or "thunderbolts",
and "lightning". Every suggestion put to me has so far been based on
interpreting "jev (storm)" as weather - but my instincts tell me that it's a
military term, especially as it is a verb and not a noun. If anyone could
give me a good suggestion, I'd be very grateful.
Bill
