[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jIrmoH

[Steven Boozer]

Klingon word: jIrmoH
Part of speech: verb
Definition: pedal
Source: qep'a' 31 [2024]
_______________________________________________
jIr  			rotate,  twirl (v)
jIrmoH  			twirl,  cause to rotate (v)

(qep'a' 2024):  When used with this meaning, a common object is {'olDop} "pedal" (or {qam Do Duj 'olDop} "bicycle pedal"), though the object need not be mentioned if the context is clear.

(qep'a' 2024):  The phrase {qam Do Duj jIrmoH} does not mean "pedal a bicycle", it means "rotate a bicycle", that is, spin it around somehow or other. The verb for riding a bicycle (or motorcycle or horse, where the passenger is controlling, to one degree or another, the motion of the vehicle or means of conveyance), is {ngIt}.
