Oh, that's easy: An «'er» is something that presumably resembles something that presumably resembles a Tasmanian devil in some way.<br>
<br>
Source:<br>
«naQ 'er» = "brush devil"<br>
(qurgh, qep'a' 24 New Words, 7/29/2017): Presumably this is a type of {'er}. "Brush devil" is not a direct translation of {naQ 'er}, and the Klingon words {naQ} and {'er} have nothing to do with brushes or devils. The Federation Standard name was an invention
of, probably, the first Federation Standard speaker who saw one of these things and reported about it.<br>

I'm not sure that it IS one, but the accompanying file says: <br>

"little animal (eg, ligonian titmouse)" <br>

"eg" usually stands for "example". I won't try to interpret.</blockquote>
<p>And a "Ligonian titmouse" might just be a Ligonian creature that <i>resembles</i> a
