--- begin quote --- TKD glosses {QIch} as “speech (vocal sounds).” The notation “(vocal sounds)” is intended to denote that “speech” here means the phenomenon of speech as opposed to an address or oration – that’s {SoQ}. So {QIch} doesn’t refer to individual speech sounds or speech sounds collectively. An individual speech sound is {QIch wab} and speech sounds collectively are {QIch wabmey}. “Pronunciation” could be {QIch wab Ho’DoS}, more literally (but awkwardly) “speech-sound manner, speech-sound technique.” --- end quote --- -- De'vID

The "bold" and "italics" refer not to Klingon, but to how definitions are displayed in Latin script (Klingon in bold, English translation in italics, like in TKD). --- begin quote --- “Writing system” in general ({pIqaD} is just one of many in the world/galaxy) is {ghItlhmeH Ho’DoS} “system for writing.” ({Ho’DoS} is “system, method, manner, technique.” {pat} is “system” in the physical [or physical-like] sense, as in “computer system” [hardware or hardware and software together] or “transporter system” or “propulsion system.” {Ho’DoS} is not that.) For “font” or “typeface,” you can use {ngutlh tu’qom} “written character appearance/form/shape.” For “bold,” Maltz suggested {pI’} “fat.” For “Italics,” he said {chongHa’} “un-vertical.” --- end quote --- -- De'vID

Is {nuq} to be always treated as inherently singular ? Can I write {vIghromey'e' nuq DIje'} for "which cats will we buy ?" ? ~ mayqel *I love maltz* qunen'oS

Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: vIng

Probably has been suggested before, but: Possible pun on "whinge" ? Apparently it's possible to use it as a synonym for whine, but I only know the word from forums, where it's been used to describe those who constantly lament about others whining.
