Klingon word: 'enDeq
Part of speech: noun
Definition: bladder
Source: qepHom 2018
_______________________________________________

(Lieven, qepHom 2018):  Strictly, the noun {'enDeq} refers to anatomy, but it can be used metaphorically in other contexts, which is the way it works in English.

(Lieven, 11/19/2018):  ... when I asked whether this bladder could be used with technical things (like air bladder), he agreed.  So {'enDeq} is a bladder in general and the {turmIq 'enDeq} is urinary bladder.  From this, I'm sure that {HuH 'enDeq} [gall bladder] is understandable even if we don't know whether Klingons would call it like that.

SEE ALSO:
turmIq  			urine (n) (qep'a' 2016)
HuH  			bile (PK), gall (TKW), slime (KGT) (n)

SUGGESTED:
*tar 'enDeq 		venom sac (n)  [SOURCE?]
  - In TNG "Genesis" Dr. Crusher examined a "devolved" Worf and noticed such a sac on his neck, whereupon he sprayed venom in Crusher's face, injuring her severely.
