(1) I am a computer programmer in Manchester University in England. I am 50.
I scuba dived for 17 years and I am trying to get back into it: if anyone
reading this lives near here and wants someone to scuba dive with, email me.
People often say that my motorcycle gear looks like a spacesuit!
(2) Do you have any crossfeed with whoever maintains the official Klingon
Dictionary? Do any of you keep an official list of new Klingon words that have
to be invented? E.g. in the appendix to the new edition of the Klingon
Dictionary there is a word <'otlh> = "photon"; if someone had to provide words
for other subatomic particles, who would authorize their general use? This
running out of vocabulary occurs also sometimes among Tolkien fans writing in
Tolkien languages.
(3) Excuse my ignorance, but in Klingon (if X is a verb) how to express "the
act of X-ing", "X-ation", and similar? E.g. <yit> = "walk" (verb); how to say
(a) "a walk", (b) "the action of walking"?
