Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, March 15, 2021
Klingon word: 'ej De' vIchel
Part of speech: adv
Definition: by the way, parenthetically
Source: qep'a' 27 [2020]
_______________________________________________
(qep'a' 2020): This comes at the beginning of a sentence. This is the full form. In everyday conversation, {‘ej} and/or {De’} (and even {vI-}) are often omitted. Klingon grammarians argue about whether the resulting {De’chel} should be considered an adverbial in its own right.
