Klingon word: vorgh
Part of speech: verb
Definition: be previous
Source: qep'a' 23 [2015]
_______________________________________________
(qep’a’ 2015): When asked about navigating lists or events, [Maltz] gave us {vorgh} "be previous" (opposite of {veb} "be next"). Can also use {nungbogh} {(nung} "precede")…
(qepHom 2019 booklet): {Qav} means "last, final"; it does not mean previous or most recent, so when talking about the last qep'a' you shouldn't use {Qav}, unless it's definitely the last one ever.
