For many years, the tlhIngan-Hol-mailing list has been the primary
source to stay up to date with new words and other information about
Klingon.
This obviously has shifted to facebook. Lawrence Schoen, the director of
the KLI, has posted today the recently announced new Klingon proverbs
(July 27):
---------------------------------------------------
Earlier today at the qep'a', Marc Okrand revealed two new Klingon
proverbs (one Replacement Proverb and one Secrecy Proverb).
Dozens of possible proverbs were submitted for consideration earlier in
the conference. Yesterday, a team of five grammarians narrowed the
offerings down to two sets of five proverbs. These ten were then taken
by Dr. Okrand who contacted his linguistic informant, Maltz, who helped
to identify which of them he had actually heard used back on Qo'noS.
And so we had our winners!
The Replacement Proverb selected was:
jagh yIbuStaH - focus on the enemy!
submitted by Qanqor
The Secrecy Proverb selected was:
'Iw HIq yap tu'lu'be'
sufficient blood wine does not exist
submitted by 'angghal
