the Day for Friday, November 03, 2017 <br>

Klingon word: tlhIngan 'IH qaD <br>
Part of speech: noun <br>
Definition: Klingon beauty contest <br>

This is the "contest of the handsome Klingon", and not the
"klingon handsomeness contest". {'IH} is not used as a noun. </blockquote>
<p>But it's an appropriate translation, because, as we all know,
Klingon is not a code for English, and translations are not
word-for-word affairs. The correct English expression for what <b>tlhIngan
'IH qaD</b> describes is <i>Klingon beauty contest.</i><br>
