_______________________________________________

(MO to De'vID, 3/2015):  {qa'vam} is perhaps best defined as "origin of everything" or "start of it all" or the like. Maltz said you could say {qa'vam nger} "Big Bang Theory," but he thought that was weird - the start of it all isn't a theory, he said - it's just the start of it all. If one thinks the start of it all was a big explosion and that's a theory, then {qa'vam nger} could mean "the theory of how everything began," but the Klingon phrase doesn't contain the notion of explosion.
