[Steven Boozer]

Klingon Word of the Day for Saturday, January 03, 2026

Klingon word: Hur
Part of speech: verb
Definition: pull, tug
Source: qepHom 2020
_______________________________________________

AFAIK not used in a sentence.

(qepHom 2020):  refers to the action of pulling back the string of the bow but also to pulling the handle on a door to open or close the door or to pulling on someone's suspenders" 

(qepHom 2020):  To pull a child's wagon (by its handle) or for a train engine to pull the train along or to pull an electrical plug out of the wall, a different verb is used: {Hoq}.  (And, of course, when the pulling is sudden or if one pulls with a jerk, the most common verb used is {luH} "yank".  {luH} can generally be used where either {Hur} or {Hoq} might otherwise be used, but not in the case of the bow.)
