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

[mayql qunenoS]

now that I'm thinking of it, in the last sentence, since the meaning
is that I actually *became* un-excited, I should have written
jISeymoHHa'choH instead of just jISeymoHHa'.

>> KGT 171:  Though one occasionally hears someone say {QoQ tIv} ("He/she enjoys [the] music") or {bom tIv} ("He/she enjoys the song"), music is not really considered something that causes pleasure. Among Klingons, pleasure is deemed quite unessential for one's well-being. More frequently, the appreciation of music is expressed in terms of something that music does to the listener rather than in terms of the listener's reaction. Thus, music is said to embolden ({jaqmoH}), excite ({SeymoH}), encourage ({tungHa'}), or to stimulate or inspire ({pIlmoH}).
