Okay, so I was a very bored nerd this evening.



From The Big Bang Theory. I worked out the letters to the best of my ability.
Any takers?

Okay, it's been a while, so I guess I'll just go. Here's what I've found so far:

chel - add (v)
DoH - back away from, back off, get away from (v)
Dotlh - status (n)
HoD - captain (n)
Hol - language (n)
Hotlh - project, put on (screen) (v); scan (v)
len - recess, break (n)
loH - administer (v); administration (n)
lotlh - rebel (v)
muS - hate, detest (v)
neH - want, desire (v); only, merely, just, alone (adv)
Qul - research (v)
Sum - be near, be nearby (v)
Sutlh - negotiate  (v)

At first glance, I see these additional words:

Dol entity
loD male
tlhol be raw, uncooked
(and Sutlhol all of you are raw)
mul be stubborn
lum procrastinate
lol be in an attitude
tlhov wheeze

Very clever, and well done! Though it definitely puts you in the running, it's not one of the stranger things I've seen done by idle nerd hands by far.  }}; )  As much as I enjoy the original proto-FedStandard version of Boggle, and enjoy breaking off the noses of my opponents in my skills, I regret I must remain an interested observer in this game. My skills with the ta' Hol are not developed to the point where I can actually participate. I would just end up flipping back and forth between dictionaries, and my Admin clearance is needed to continue with spam stomping bans. (Got to have something ready to feed the Marines when they arrive, and they are among the few who actually seem to like the stuff.)

Thanks for the chart!  I tried piecing this together, too, a while back, although my results were slightly different:

ng ch j gh
Q S l u
y l o tlh
n e H D


After reexamining the clip, I actually think yours is the correct one; when I visualize the glyphs being rotated into position, I see now that some of the would have to be flipped to correspond to my results.


Personally, I think of this clip as yet another reason to dislike The Big Bang Theory; you'd think that a show purporting to show nerd culture would put some more effort into getting the Klingon right!  I tried to be very lenient when comparing the words they claimed to get with what I saw on that board, but they were clearly using the phonemes a and r, and those clearly weren't there.  Considering the board was set before the shot began, couldn't they have staged things better?
