Hello, and welcome. You’re listening to DaHjaj Hol, your daily dose of Klingon language. I’m your host, Lawrence Schoen.
Yesterday, as part of a dialogue, you learned the word for helmsman. Keeping to that theme, today’s verb is chIj. CH, Capital I, J. chIj means navigate. After all, there’s no point in having a helmsman if you don’t have a navigator too, right?
not Duj vIchIj
I’ve never navigated a ship
batlh yInlIj chIjnIS SuvwI’
a warrior needs to navigate his life honorably
chIjlaHchugh HoD chaq maHeghbe’laH
if the captain can navigate, perhaps we can not die
One might, you know, consider today’s verb from a purely metaphorical point of view, and apply it to your own efforts to plot a course through this alien language. Because clearly you are on a journey, and you’ll have reached your destination when the language has opened that world to you. qo’mey poSmoH Hol
Today’s podcast is brought to you by Buffalito Destiny by Lawrence M. Schoen.
“Only Lawrence Schoen could blend the Mayan eschaton, nightclub hypnotism, corporate elitism, radical environmentalism, and good old-fashioned slam-bang adventure fiction.”
— Jay Lake, Campbell Award winner
“The Amazing Conroy is a stage hypnotist who has parlayed an alien buffalo dog — a creature that eats anything and farts oxygen — into a powerful corporation worth billions. An ambitious plan to use these buffalitos to clean up toxic waste sites places him in direct conflict with a radical anti-alien ecoterrorist organization, and before long, Conroy is on the run with only his pet buffalito, Reggie, and his gambler pal, Left-John Mocker, to aid him. As bizarre dreams guide him inexorably towards a mysterious destiny, Conroy deals with prophetic aliens, ancient Mayan ruins, exquisite sandwiches and the temporally-unstable state of Texas. Part crisis-filled road trip, part gonzo race against time, and all tongue-in-cheek humor and charm, this nutty tale may sound strange, but Schoen somehow makes it all come together.”
