Expand the Tamarian Language

[Balok's Decoy]

I watched "Darmok" last night and I really love the Tamarian language. But I wish there was more than just the phrases we hear in the episode. Since it doesn't seem like there are any other sources of Tamarian out there, how about we come up with some new phrases?

Could even make this a game: one person posts a "new" Tamarian phrase and then another person guesses its meaning? Can be a phrase rooted in Trek or not. Any takers?

 

[Mutai Sho-Rin]

Geordi, when the words fail. (As the forum mod, I'll only do this once but it should be fun.)

 

[Balok's Decoy]

Geordi, when the words fail. (As the forum mod, I'll only do this once but it should be fun.)

Geordi, when the words fail: Like when you're smitten and can't find the words?

How about: Kirk and Spock with the lirpa.

(I'll probably hold back on too many responses too, since I'm the OP. Interested to see other people's posts!)
