bewsom 	[type of fermented {HIq} ; mash?] (n)
 - (qepHom 2020):  mixture of ingredients that, after a bit of time, produces fermented {HIq}. Maltz thought that maybe this was shortened from something like {bewSom roghmeH qegh pa'} "vat for fermenting {bewSom} room" or "{bewSom} fermenting vat room", but he wasn't sure about that.

HIq 		liquor (beer, wine, ale) (n)
wornagh	*warnog* (Klingon  ale) (n)
chechtlhutlh  	*chech'tluth* (type of liquor) (n)

rogh 		ferment (v)
roghmoH 	cause to ferment (v)
 - (KGT 92):  One way to bring fermentation about is to mix the food with a fungus (known as {'atlhqam}) usually scraped off the bottom of certain animals' feet, though it also grows on trees. The fermentation process is monitored so that the food is served at just the right time, even though the process is actually still going on (the verb meaning serve fermented food at its peak is {wech}).

tlhutlh 		drink (v)
chech  		be drunk, intoxicated (v)
'uH 		have a hangover, be hung over (v)
