Klingon word: SoSbor<br>
Part of speech: noun<br>
Definition: core<br>
Source: BOP<br></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div>This is a back-formation from {De'wI' SoSbor'a'} "main computer core". It has been generally *assumed* that *{SoSbor} is an independent word with the suffix {-'a'}, but we don't actually know this for a fact, do we? That is, it may be that {SoSbor'a'} is a word which just *happens to* end in something that looks like the suffix {-'a'} (similar to {bIQ'a'}). The fact that {De'wI' SoSbor'a'} is "main computer core" though does strongly suggest that {De'wI' SoSbor} would be a regular computer core, though.</div><div><br></div><div>(Also, the pun here is quite clearly {SoSbor} = "motherboard".)</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature">De'vID</div></div>
