ghItlh Ken Beesley:
> How do you say "sword of honor". With 'etlh =
sword (n) and batlh = honor (n), we presumably can create
the compound batlh'etlh (honor-sword), but are there other
ways to say it? How many? This might reveal a genitive.
What an odd coincidence! (or was it coincidence?) This very
term "batlh'etlh" was used in last night's new ST:TNG as the
name of qeylIS' sword (he translated it "Sword of Honor".
It was one of the few Klingon utterances in the episode that
sounded correct! {{:-( Did anyone catch was qeylIS said to
Worf when Worf challenged him? It sounded like "nuq
jatlhaq?". I thought it might be a mangled version of "nuq
Dajatlh"?.
