[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: HoQ

[Steven Boozer]

QeS, thanks for responding so quickly.

Notice the new form {mIlHa'} "restore honor".

I like the contrast of Type 7 (aspect) suffixes:  {yIntaHwI'pu'} the living ("those who continue to live") vs. {Heghpu'wI'pu'} the dead ("those who have died").

ghItlhpu' qurgh, jatlh:
> Klingon word: HoQ
> Part of speech: verb
> Definition: be honored falsely, be falsely honorable

jang Voragh, jatlh:
> Related verbs:
> HoQmoH honor falsely
> quv be honored, be honorable
> Qaq behave falsely honorably/in a falsely honorable manner
> mIl be formerly honored
> Have any of these been used in the {paq'batlh}?

I haven't yet got the paq'batlh in a searchable format so I have to search by eye, but I couldn't find HoQ or Qaq, and I'll have to look again for quv. mIl appears only twice, both in a verse that shows a really nice usage:

  yIntaHwI'pu' vImIlHa'moH jIH
  Heghpu'wI'pu'
  DamIlHa'moH SoH

   "I will restore honor among the living,
  You will restore honor
  Among the dead."

(pp. 146-147; paq'raD 16.22-24)
