[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Do'

[Steven Boozer]

Oops... forgot to add another example of {Do'} from the bit of "King John" Okrand did (Act II, scene ii):

        He is the half part of a blessed man,
        Left to be finished by such as she;
        And she a fair divided excellence,
        Whose fullness of perfection lies in him.

        loD Do' ghaH loDvam'e' 'ach bID loD ghaH
        loD naQmoHlaH be'vam rurbogh be' neH
        'ej naQHa' be'vam povtaHghach quvqu'
        'ach be'vam pupqu'moHlaH loDvam neH

Hmm... The two TKD cites are not in my TKD transcript. I'll have to research it.  It looks as if they may have come from the section on {-Ha'} to show the difference from {-be'} - i.e. one's permanent state or nature vs. a temporary condition.

Klingon word: Do'

Part of speech: verb

Definition: be fortunate, be lucky



  maDo'Ha'

  We are (always) unlucky. TKD



  maDo'be'

  We are not lucky. TKD

Where are these, exactly? I can't find them, and the translation of the first one is interesting.
