Klingon word: rech
Part of speech: verb
Definition: exhale
Source: HQ:v12n4p8
_______________________________________________
AFAIK not used in a sentence.
(HQ 12.4:8): Air, for example, comes into and out of the nose or mouth. The word for breath is {tlhuH}, and that for breathe is also {tlhuH}. To breathe in, or inhale, is {pur}; to breathe out, or exhale, is {rech}. … (Maltz was quite amused when he realized that the Klingon word {rech} exhale sounded like the English word "retch" – that is, vomit – but he couldn't explain why he thought it was so funny.)
