Klingon word: SeymoH
Part of speech: verb
Definition: excite
_______________________________________________
SeymoH QeH
Anger excites. TKW
(KGT 71): Though one occasionally hears someone say {QoQ tIv} (He/she enjoys [the] music) or {bom tIv} (He/she enjoys the song), music is not really considered something that causes pleasure. Among Klingons, pleasure is deemed quite unessential for one's well-being. More frequently, the appreciation of music is expressed in terms of something that music does to the listener rather than in terms of the listener's reaction. Thus, music is said to embolden (jaqmoH), excite (SeymoH), encourage (tungHa'), or to stimulate or inspire (pIlmoH).
SEE:
Sey be excited (v)
tlhuH be exhilarated, stimulated, invigorated (slang) (v)
(KGT 165): Literally meaning breathe, this word [{tlhuH}] is used in such expressions as {jItlhuH} ("I am exhilarated, it's exhilarating to me"; literally, "I breathe"). Perhaps a near equivalent in standard Klingon is {Sey} (be excited).
SEE ALSO:
bIt be nervous, uneasy (v)
jot be calm (v)
