Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, September 18, 2023
Klingon word: qab jech
Part of speech: noun
Definition: mask
Source: Hamletmachine
_______________________________________________
(Hamletmachine notes): two words; This is a mask as a disguise, not a surgical mask
TREK NOTES:
DROXINE: I don't like filters, or even masks. I like the word "protector"
much better, don't you?
SPOCK: It is less technical, therefore less accurate, but perhaps more
generally descriptive of the function. (TOS “The Cloud
Minders”)
