Klingon tumblr is called tm’blarr and if you post a nipple they stab you
With all due respect this is not proper klingon phonology.
A klingon syllable must have a medial vowel.
/bl/ is not an allowed consonant cluster.
rr isn’t in the orthography really it’d just be r
Constructing the Klingon verson of the word, the main problem is what you want to do with the u (/ə/) in tumblr. You could leave it u, pronounced oo (/u/), though I personally would make it I, pronounced like in kit (/ɪ/), because in my dialect that’s pretty close to the schwa (the uh sound in tumblr). In order to keep the random glottal stop (’), because that sounds very klingon (it uses those a lot), I’m going to stick it in the syllable between the b and the l (since, remember, that’s not an allowed consonant cluster, unless it spans a syllable boundary). This is a little odd, as you’d probably just stick your neutral vowel between them, but klingon doesn’t really like CV (consonant-vowel) syllables and it sounds cooler. I like using ih in neutral syllables, but you could always follow the original post’s choice and make it a instead.
It’s probably tImbI’lar (/tɪm’bɪʔ.lar/). tim-bi’-lar (roll the r). Stress on the central syllable.
Edit: in honor of wongbal I have translated the original post as ngech mIllogh Dalabchugh, DaDuQlu’, “if you post a nipple you get stabbed.”
More accurately, as “if you transmit a picture of a woman’s cleavage, you will certainly be stabbed.” The online klingon dictionary is incapable of using normal words and I spent a solid ten minutes searching as many synonyms for upper-chest-areas-of-the-body as I could think of. Also, disclaimer that I’ve only been studying this language for a few months.
