<div>ghItlhpu' Voragh, jatlh:</div>
<div>> <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Actually qep’a’ 2016 produced something close to one of your desiderata:</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">magh Klingon plant that most closely resembles grass (n)</span></div>
<div>> magh yotlh lawn (n)</div>
<div> > <span style="font-size: 12pt;">So I would say *{magh tIq yotlh} “field of long grass” for grassland, steppe, prairie,</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">> etc., though {Hatlh} might be better for open, uncultivated/unmanaged land.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Oh yes, I did know about those (and I'm grateful for your reminder of them!). I suppose I'm more thinking that we have {HuD} and {ngech} for hills and valleys, but for open flat land like a steppe or plain or prairie, I wasn't
sure if {yotlh} would be appropriate, since KGT seems to imply that it's a cultivated plot of land:</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">"<span>The verb {yob} ("harvest") is used to refer to gathering up plants or plant parts, whether from a field ({yotlh}) that has been sown or out in the wild." (KGT p.89)</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span><br>
</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span>I've been using {Hatlh} as a stopgap, but it'd be nice to know what the semantic range is on these words.</span></span></div>
