[Tlhingan-hol] klingon

[John R. Harness]

Hi Lex! Welcome to Klingon speaking! I'm 'arHa (or John) and I am around to
help out with your questions as you begin learning Klingon. If you have any
more questions about introductory grammar, you can label your posts with
the phrase KLBC (for "Klingon Language Beginner's Conversation") in the
subject line and I'll be sure to see it.

Yep, {Ha'DIbaHmey} means "animals." I've always like Ha'DIbaH as a word, by
the way, because it is one of the words that Marc Okrand made to match
English lip movements for Star Trek II.

Have you thought about how to pluralize other words? For example, can you
correctly pluralize:

tera'ngan
Duj
puqloD
qIv
nob
Quch

The rules for correctly pluralizing different kinds of words can be found
in section 3.3.2 of The Klingon Dictionary. Take a look!

Try to pluralize that list of words and, if you can do so correctly, you'll
have mastered one of the stranger parts of Klingon!
