Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, June 21, 2025
Klingon word: vaS
Part of speech: verb
Definition: be wide, broad
Source: qep'a' 25 [2018]
_______________________________________________
(qurgh < MO 7/28/2018): referring to side-to-side distance, not things like a "broad topic" or "wide range of opinion" or "eyes wide open"
(st.k 10/22/1997): There are two words used for length: {'aD} and {'ab}. Both of these can be translated as "have a length of", but they are used somewhat differently. {'aD} is used in contrast with {juch} have a width of in measuring, say, a table top.
SEE:
lang be thin, narrow (v)
N.B. do not confuse with the noun {vaS} "hall, assembly hall".
