[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: Dap bom

[Steven Boozer]

That reminds me of something KCD executive producer Keith Halper wrote in “Star Trek: Klingon!” (i.e., the KCD novelization), p. 212:

    "[Okrand's] literal translation is always skewed a bit, so if you
      send him ‘Row, row, row your boat’, you'll get back ‘Propel,
      propel, propel your craft’."

Note that propel is {vo'}.  But I like yours better.

Voragh

My favorite Dap bom is the popular martial arts song for kids {ro’ ro’ ro’ yIbot}.

You do it during exercises. “Block the fist, the fist, the fist."
