Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, September 02, 2019
Klingon word: qurme'
Part of speech: noun
Definition: ingredient
Source: qep'a' 26 [2019]
_______________________________________________
(qep’a’ 2019): [{mIw} "recipe, formula"] is generally used for this, but step-by-step instructions can also be referred to as {HIl'aD}. The word for ingredient is {qurme'}, so if a "formula" is the list of the ingredients of something (like a secret formula for the special sauce on a Big Mac), that's {qurme'mey}.
N.B. "recipe, formula" is an extended meaning of {mIw} "procedure, process".
SEE ALSO:
HIl'aD step-by-step instructions (n) (qep’a’ 2019)
(qep’a’ 2019): {HIl'aD} is singular; several sets of instructions is {HIl'aDmey}.
