<p>But ra'taj is coffee that has had some kind of alcohol added to
it, while raktajino is "raktaj" (ra'taj without alcohol) with
cream added. It doesn't get a Klingon word because it's not a
Klingon food: raktaj and raktajino are borrowed from Klingon
culture.</p>
<p>And all this is after the fact that ra'taj itself is made from a
Klingon-style preparation of coffee, which itself comes from
Earth.</p>
<p>So the progress of this is:</p>
<p>coffee (Earth) --> qa'vIn (Klingon) --> ra'taj (Klingon)
--> raktaj (galaxy) --> raktajino (galaxy)</p>
<p>If "Trials and Tribble-ations" is to be believed, this complete
line of borrowing happened only as late as the 23rd century, some
time before the events of "The Trouble with Tribbles."<br>

<div>Wow! No people posting here since February 16 and
no wiki posts in February after the fifteenth!
(Although I see Lieven broke the latter fast on the
first day of March.)<br>
<br>
<br>
We don't have Klingon words for "fire wine" or
"raktajino", as far as I can see. Perhaps Lieven or
other people dreaming about TKD3 could bring these up
with Marc Okrand.<span style="white-space: pre-wrap">o.cgi/tlhingan-hol-kli.org</span></div>
