[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: yov

Klingon Word of the Day for Wednesday, June 07, 2023

Klingon word: yov
Part of speech: verb
Definition: charge (military term)
_______________________________________________

(KGT 48):  Common militaristic acts also have associated terminology, both verbs ({DoHmoH}, drive back;  {Hub}, defend;  {yot}, invade;  {weH}, raid (same as {yot}, really, but with the added connotation of surprise or speed);  {HIv}, attack, assault;  {Sev}, contain;  {HeD}, retreat, withdraw) and nouns ({yot}, invasion, raid, incursion;  {Hub}, defense).

N.B. do not confuse with {Huj} "charge [up]" -- which I've always assumed, albeit without evidence, was electrical- or power-related.  Do we have any examples/comments?  But see also:
rIH 		energize (v)
laQ 		energize, fire [e.g. thrusters] (v)
ngIng 		have a negative charge (v)
ruS 		have a positive charge (v)
