New Vulcan Words Rob Zook Sun, 24 May 1998 01:32:28 -0500 Hello all, I have a list of a hundred or so words which are just about ready for consumption. Just a little notes on the presentation. It's in a database ready form, simply because that's the handiest way to dump it out of the database I'm storing all these words and letters and associated stuff. The first field is an English keyword to help you get a grasp on the word. A good word to use when translating the Vulcan word into English. The second column is the Vulcan word. It's syllables are delimited by a dash. The third field contains the vulcan "part of speech", either action/state, entity, or qualifier. The grammer words like connectives and suffixes appear in the Lexicon/Grammar. The fourth and last column contains a dictionary type definition of the english meaning of the word. Some of these may be too general, and we might narrow the meanings of them a bit. We can probably use these for translating for now, but personally I'd feel better when Marketa can put her stamp of approval/disapproval on them, and tell me which one's she likes and does not like.
