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

[Steven Boozer]

Klingon word: SorHa'
Part of speech: verb
Definition: speak metaphorically
Source: qep'a' cha'maHDIch from Okrand to Schoen
_______________________________________________

(Qov, 7/29/2013):  [Okrand] appears to agree that this implies {Sor} means "speak literally", and that this is connected to the expression {lugh: Sor rur} ["correct as a tree"]. The pun with sure appears from his reaction to be intentional.

(qurgh, 5/16/2016):  I can tell you the pun ({Sor}) is one Okrand really likes, and it's not on the word "sure".  I can't give any more, as I've been literally sworn to secrecy.

PUN:
(Michael Kunin, 5/16/2016):  {Sor} -> shore -> littoral -> literal -> speak literally?
