[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: renyarDaq

[James Landau]

Mr. Boozer! Good to see you back with your WotD stuff!

When the word *renyarDaq* was introduced, I had never heard of Noreen Renier and thought the *renyar* part was *rayner* backwards, as in J. B. "Rhine" plus "Zener" cards.

How about *Qaqnel* for a psychic detective?

>(qep'a' 2023):  For "ESP," {'erwI'Daq} is normally fine. The usual term for psychic ability (or abilities) in general is {renyarDaq}. The study >of parapsychology is {renyarDaq QeD}, but this is sometimes shortened to {DaqQeD}.
