<pre wrap="">Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, July 01, 2018
Klingon word: QIm
Part of speech: noun
Definition: egg
_______________________________________________
AFAIK never used in a sentence.
(KGT 88): Curiously, eggs ({QImmey}) do not play a large role in the Klingon diet as food items in their own right, though they are mixed into many sauces, usually along with the pieces of shell ({pel'aQ}), for flavor and texture. The small eggs of the Tokvirian skink ({toqvIr lung}), however, are often eaten whole, shell and all, usually by the handful.
(HQ 10.4:4): [The {borghel} is] "a very small bird whose eggs are considered quite tasty".
Note the egg-related phrase: {pel'aQDaj ghorpa'} "before it breaks its shell" (idiom for "before it's too late" or "while there's still time"):
pel'aQDaj ghorpa' qama' yIHoH
Before it breaks its shell, kill the prisoner.
(i.e. "Kill the prisoner now, while you've got a chance") KGT
TREK TRIVIA:
Riker scrambled some Owon eggs he got at Starbase 37. Although the humans thought them disgusting, Worf proclaimed them "delicious". (TNG "Time Squared")</pre>

<p>PUN: egg cream (<b>QIm</b> sounds like <i>cream</i>).<br>
