Klingon word: De' jengva'
Part of speech: noun
Definition: compact disc, CD
Source: TalkNow - Learn Klingon!, revealed 30 September 2011
_______________________________________________

The plural is properly {De' ngop} per Okrand at  qepHom'a' 2011  [source?].

(Lieven, 4/04/2017):  We talked about something similar at qepHom'a', when Okrand mentioned a term used in movie production, lamps standing on a "foot", and people would talk about "foots" instead of "feet".  I just don't remember the end of the discussion.  I think we agreed on saying {De' jengva'mey}, although the plural of {jengva'} is {ngop}.

(qurgh, 8/15/2016):  
(qurgh):   "So, can we use {vuj} to express the CD player ejected the CD?" 
(qunnoq) "Yes. I actually asked about that exact thing. I had a laptop that would practically launch CDs across the table when I hit the eject button, and Marc confirmed that was definitely {vuj}."

TREK NOTES:
   The Library on the doomed planet of Sarpeidon contained over 20,000 "verism tapes" - metallic video discs the size of a DVD - which were viewed on a tape viewer. (TOS "All Our Yesterdays")
