Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, April 17, 2021

Klingon word: 	'Iptay
Part of speech:  noun
Definition: 	honorific epetai
Source: 	qepHom 2014
_______________________________________________

From Klingonaase *epetai* "line head", the equivalent IIRC of *{tuq DevwI'}  (fandom < John Ford's novel _The Final Reflection_)

Ford's Klingonaase honorific titles - still used in fandom - are (in ascending order - correct me if I'm wrong):
tay  		tai 
Sutay  		sutai 
veStay 		vestai
Santay 		zantai
’Iptay 		epetai
