I thought *mobIj* for "latch" probably had something to do with "jibboom", but Marc said he didn't see a connection between "latch" and "jibboom". Then I thought about it more, and noticed how *jIbom* also means "I sing". "I sing" sounds like "isinglass" . . . were latches traditionally made with isinglass, or put on isinglass windows or used with isinglass curtains?</div><div class="ydp48371de5yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div class="ydp48371de5yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div class="ydp48371de5yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">>Message: 2<br></div><div id="ydp24180542yahoo_quoted_7661637372" class="ydp24180542yahoo_quoted"><div style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;"><div><div dir="ltr">>Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 15:25:49 +0000<br></div><div dir="ltr">>From: Steven Boozer <<a href="mailto:sboozer@uchicago.edu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sboozer@uchicago.edu</a>><br></div><div dir="ltr">>To: "tlhingan-hol@kli.org" <<a href="mailto:tlhingan-hol@kli.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tlhingan-hol@kli.org</a>><br></div><div dir="ltr">>Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: re'chIv<br></div><div dir="ltr">>Message-ID:<br></div><div dir="ltr">> <<a href="mailto:SN7PR11MB80417D881C11268C274D8D7AC11F2@SN7PR11MB8041.namprd11.prod.outlook.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SN7PR11MB80417D881C11268C274D8D7AC11F2@SN7PR11MB8041.namprd11.prod.outlook.com</a>><br></div><div dir="ltr">> <br></div><div dir="ltr">>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"<br></div><div dir="ltr">><br></div><div dir="ltr">>Klingon Word of the Day for Monday, January 13, 2025<br></div><div dir="ltr">><br></div><div dir="ltr">>Klingon word: re'chIv<br></div><div dir="ltr">>Part of speech: noun<br></div><div dir="ltr">>Definition: internal organ<br></div><div dir="ltr">>Source: qep'a' 29 [2022]<br></div><div dir="ltr">>_______________________________________________<br></div><div dir="ltr">><br></div><div dir="ltr">>AFAIK not used in a sentence.<br></div><div dir="ltr">><br></div><div dir="ltr">>(qepHom 2023): {remloS}, in its singular sense, would refer to any individual internal organ.
