Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, July 10, 2022

Klingon word: 	rIq
Part of speech: 	verb
Definition: 	pioneer, break through, innovate
Source: 	qep'a' 26 [2019]
_______________________________________________

(qep’a’ 2019):  This would apply to a scientific breakthrough or discovery, but not to, say, setting a new record in a bat'leth twirling competition.

(KGT 21-22):  {chab chu'} (literally, "new pie") is another way to say new invention or latest innovation. This is no doubt because the Krotmag pronunciation of {chab} (pie) is {cham}, the same as the word for technology.

PUN:  "Eureka!"
