<div dir="ltr"><div>Here's a question: Since the implied subject of weather words is usually <b>muD</b> (or sometimes maybe <b>chal</b> for precipitation and the like), how would you all interpret <b>vungwI'</b>? <br></div><div></div><div>Would you read it as the noun "hurricane", as in the part of the atmosphere that's hurricaning, considered as a single system? (So you could perhaps say something like <b><i>Florida</i>Daq ghoSlI' 'Irma' vungwI'</b> <i>"Hurricane Irma is approaching Florida"</i>, with the assumption that "hurricane" is treated like a rank or title.)<br></div><div></div><div>Or would it be taken to mean something less specific or useful, like "the atmosphere as a whole, which happens to be hurricaning somewhere", assuming it means anything at all?<br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Sep 29, 2017 at 11:48 AM, Steven Boozer <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sboozer@uchicago.edu" target="_blank">sboozer@uchicago.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">Klingon word: vung<br>

(qurgh < MO, qep'a' 2017): You can also say {ver SuS'a'} "a tornado happens" (literally: "the big wind spirals"). {ver SuS} (or {ver SuSHom}) would most likely refer to a whirlwind.<br>
