[Tlhingan-hol] KLCP 1 vocab practice...

[Steven Boozer]

Since {nugh} is defined as “society (group of people with a *shared* culture)” how about just {ghop poS nugh} “a left hand society”?  If it’s a proper name, say in martial arts, “The Society of the Left Hand”?

QISta':
>> ben law' poS ghop maSbogh nuv nugh cherlu'.
>> Many years ago a left-handers' society was established ("left's hand
>> preferring people's society" — is there a better way of saying that?)

De'vID:
>Whenever you have {-bogh nuv}, consider {-wI'}. Although, it's not
>clear to me that "people who prefer left hands" are left-handers.

It wasn't clear to me either :-(. Maybe Klingons don't put so much emphasis on things like that as we do?
