Talk:Klingonese glossary (N)

na'Dev
Currently says "tlhIngan Hol term, used as a verb or adjective, meaning "quiet" or "silence"." I suspect this is a mistake. The Klingon word naDev means "here" or "hereabouts", and that's how it's used in both of the two sources listed:


 * The Eyes of the Beholders (page 166): "naDev vo'ylghoS!" he roared, ordering the images, the colors, the sounds, to go away!
 * This is no doubt meant to be naDevvo' yIghoS!, which is Klingon for "Go away [from here]!"


 * In Crossroads of Time, the Klingon woman says naDev qaS wanI' ramqu', meaning "A very insignificant event happens here.", or "Nothing going on here.".

My guess is that the person who first wrote this felt both sentences had to do with silence or stillness, and wrote it here. So, I'm gonna go ahead and change this. --Tesseraktik (talk) 20:44, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
