jIghItlhpu':
I'm trying to figure out how to render the word "train". I imagine some =
version of {nom puH Duj vIH}--rapidly moving ground ship--might be in =
order, but {puH Duj} is traditionally used to mean "car" among the KLI, =
and besides doesn't really convey the appearance or function of a train.
ja' Felix:
For this particular word, though, we actually have a canon phrase: =
=ABlupwI' mIr=BB, from EuroTalk (which also contained =ABpuH Duj=BB). So, t=
o a =
Klingon, a train is pretty much a chain of buses.
jIjatlh:
Ah, EuroTalk vIghajbe'.
cha'Hu' ramDaq loDvaD qepHomvo' jIpawHa. lupwI' mIr vItIjnIS. 'e' =
vItIjmeH lupwI'Hom vItIjnIS. Do'Ha' Hutlogh Qoypu' 'ej lengbe' Hoch =
lutwI'. vaj qepHomvo' lupwI' mIrDaq jIyIt. wa'maH Qoylogh wa' qelIqam =
jIyIt 'ej lutwI' mIr vItIjpu'!
SKI: A long walk to the train late at night.
