Klingon Word of the Day for Thursday, April 15, 2021
Klingon word: Hu'
Part of speech: noun
Definition: days ago
_______________________________________________
AFAIK only appears as a bound morpheme in compound nouns.
SEE:
wa'Hu' yesterday (one day ago) (n)
cha'Hu' the day before yesterday [two days ago] (n)
wejHu' three days ago (n)
(Okrand, HQ 8.3:3): The words {ret} [period of time ago] and {pIq} [period of time from now] could also be used with days, months, and years (e.g., {wej jaj ret} "three days ago", rather than {wejHu'}, but utterances of these are not particularly common, sound a bit archaic, and are usually restricted to rather formal settings.
SEE ALSO:
*leS days from now (n)
wa'leS tomorrow (n)
cha'leS day after tomorrow (n)
'opleS one day [indef.] (n)
Has *{leS} been lexicalized, ie. listed separately in TKD like {Hu'}? (I don't have TKD with me.)
