<p class="MsoNormal">(MO to qurgh, 7/23/2018): As for {<b><span style="color:red">gher'ID}</span></b> — All of the English words could be singular or plural, whichever makes the most sense given the context. If, in Klingon, it's important to indicate plurality,
use {<b>-mey}</b>; if it's important to indicate singularity, use {<b>wa'}</b> along with {<b>neH}</b> (or something along those lines).<br>

<pre>{gher'ID} (n) "results, outcome, effect, repercussions, consequence,<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>The words "results/outcome/effect" -the way I understand them- are<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>neutral; i.e. we can have a positive or negative result, a positive or<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>negative outcome, a positive or negative effect.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>But googling repercussion/ramification I found:<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>- repercussion: "an unintended consequence of an event or action,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>especially an unwelcome one".<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>- ramification: "a complex or unwelcome consequence of an action or event".<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>So, when it comes to the klingon noun {gher'ID} do we use it for<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>results/outcomes/effects which are good, which are bad, or can we use<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>it for both?<o:p></o:p></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>The complete gloss gives no indication that <b>gher'ID</b> has a negative connotation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I would try to avoid assuming that connotations of the English gloss are also connotations of the Klingon word, unless there were some reason to think so.<o:p></o:p></p>
