[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: tangqa'

[DloraH]

My copy does not have a glossary.  Nor does it use footnotes.

On page 43:
"A burden beast, prized in good times for its strength and its ability
to plow a field."

The milk and cheese reference is apparently on another page.


And with regard to the s'tarahk, 
p43:
"Otherwise, the s'tarahk might have been tempted to feed on the
carcass,..."
And p178:
"For two days, Kahless drove his s'tarahk mercilessly, pausing only for
the animal to munch on grass and groundnuts, and to water itself."
