[tlhIngan Hol] Performance of a ghuQ

[Jeffrey Clark]

Is there any canon source for the correct verb to use when reciting a ghuQ?

I can see very valid arguments for both bom and jatlh. I was wondering if there was a specific source that had a verb that could give insight.

Personally, I lean towards bom. Since Klingon used qonwI’ for both a music composer and a ghuQ composer, I don’t see why “singing” in Klingon culture has to involve intoned words (actually, it’s a strange line to talk about in academic circles because the same question can be asked in English in many modern musical contexts…).
