_______________________________________________

(qepHom 2015, p.14):  Maltz was once asked for the Klingon word for tardigrade. He never heard of such a thing. He said just to use the Federation Standard word with a Klingon pronunciation: {tarDIghaD}.

FYI:  Tardigrades are microscopic and very resistant micro-animals that resemble eight-legged pandas, thus the nickname "water bears". Tardigrades are tough and can survive — but apparently not reproduce — in the harsh conditions of space.

JOKE: 
“Tardigrade: the direction you turn when you decide to head back to your TARDIS" (SuStel, 11/16/2016)
