[tlhIngan Hol] Glommer

[James Landau]

The link I gave at the Klingon wiki said the word was non-canon.

>(Felix, 2/13/2018):  The word {ghIlo'meH} (has it been canonized?) has rather an interesting origin.  As far as I can tell, it began its >journey in the book ?Star Trek: Forged in Fire?, where the author decided to "klingonize" the word *glommer* as *{glo'meH} (which >violates ordinary syllable structure in exactly the same way that *glommer* does).  Then *{glo'meH} was used as an English word in >?How to Speak Klingon?, which was then properly klingonized as {ghIlo'meH}.  It's essentially come about through a strange game >of Telephone/Chinese Whispers ... but then again, I suppose that's true of much of language in general.
>See ?How to speak Klingon: essential phrases for the intergalactic traveler? by Ben Grossblatt (San Francisco: Chronicle Books, >?2013).  ISBN 9781452118147.
