Klingon word: ley'
Part of speech: noun
Definition: nose (regional)
_______________________________________________

(KGT 28):  A small amount of regional variation is also found among words referring to body parts, though almost always, words for the different body parts are the same in all dialects. One exception is the word for "nose," which is {ghIch} everywhere but in some regions may alternatively be called {ley'}.

(HQ 12.4:8):  Air, for example, comes into and out of the nose or mouth.  The word for breath is {tlhuH}, and that for breathe is also {tlhuH}.  To breathe in, or inhale, is {pur}; to breathe out, or exhale, is {rech}.  To breathe noisily, or wheeze, is {jev}  ...  To breathe even more noisily, or snore, is {wuD}.
