<p>Thank you for sharing; some interesting ones, there!<br>
<br>
Rubies and emeralds could potentially be of interest when {Doq/SuD; X rur.} to describe the color of something. It's worth noting that there is a certain span of colors that rubies and emeralds can take, though, so be mindful that a Klingon might not imagine
the exact same color as we do if you say {Doq; nIb DItlhon.} or {SuD; nIb patmor.}.</p>

<p>A while back, I asked a question on the conworlding Stack Exchange about whether or not we would expect to find well-known gemstones on other Earth-like planets, specifically because I was thinking about whether or not it would be of interest to ask about
their Klingon names. There were some interesting answers:</p>
<p><br>

<p><a href="https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/108397/would-earthlike-planets-in-other-solar-systems-have-well-known-earth-gemstones-s" target="_blank">https://worldbuilding.stackexchange.com/questions/108397/would-earthlike-planets-in-other-solar-systems-have-well-known-earth-gemstones-s</a>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It does seem likely - or at least not incredibly _un_likely* - that the cardinal gems would be found in some quantity, as their formation is quite simple.</p>
<p>However, their abundance and categorization might differ, since the same mineral can take a range of colors (for example, rubies and sapphires are both varieties of corundum), and conversely two different may have similar features (for example, I wouldn't
be able to tell ruby from red beryl).<br>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">One thing I like lately is how MO has been providing new verbs which seem to be related to existing nouns, giving a sense of some deeper historical etymology. ({rutlh} = "wheel" and "be
round", for instance.) {QIn} "inject" might be another example, since it's homophonous with the word for "spearhead", both of which involve sticking a pointy thing into something else.</div>
