Klingon word: 	targho'nI'
Part of speech: 	noun
Definition: 	tungsten
Source: 	qepHom 2020
_______________________________________________

AFAIK never used in a sentence.

(qepHom 2020):  Here's another element that seems to have something to do with poison ({tar}), though Maltz didn't know what {gho'nI'} might mean. He said he'd never noticed a connection between poison and some elements before and doesn't know what to make of it. Did Klingons at some point use uranium and/or tungsten to make poison?

SEE:
tarngeb  	uranium (n) (qepHom 2020)
