[tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: HerghwI' (noun)

[Steven Boozer]

Part of speech: noun
Definition: hypo, pneumatic hypo
_______________________________________________

Shortened form (medical jargon?) of {Hergh QaywI'} "thing which transfers medicine"  [HQ 1.3:9 < veS QonoS]
 
(Lieven < MO, 2/27/2021):  For administering the vaccine ... One could also say {javtIm raS'IS pochmeH Hergh QaywI' lo' Qel}.  But it's more common to say simply {javtIm raS'IS Qay Qel}, since, in a medical context, the verb {Qay} normally implies that a {Hergh QaywI'} was involved.
