Klingon Word of the Day for Tuesday, October 22, 2019

Klingon word: naD tetlh
Part of speech: noun
Definition: Commendation List
_______________________________________________

(KGT 182):  For example, in the ceremony to induct new members into the Order of the Bat'leth ({betleH 'obe'}), the highest honor that the government bestows on a Klingon, the presiding official, usually the leader of the Klingon High Council, first reads a name from the {naD tetlh} (Commendation List), always calling out the inductee's name in the most formal way (given name plus father's name, such as {tI'vIS barot puqloD} [T'vis, son of Barot]).

(st.k 7/09/1998):  Thus, one would usually say {naD tetlh gher} "he/she compiles the Commendation List" or "he/she writes the Commendation List".
