baby rattle

My children wanted to know what is the Klingon word for the object that the baby Klingon ({ghu}) is shown playing with in the book "Baby's First Klingon Words". If you haven't seen it, it's a baby rattle. I mentioned their question to Dr. Okrand and here's what he wrote back: --- begin quote --- [MO] regarding the baby's rattle: For a baby, an important (defining?) characteristic of a rattle is that it makes noise. On the other hand, this is a Klingon toy, so its resemblance to a weapon is not unimportant. Perhaps it's a {ghu ghanjaq chuS} (though, in everyday speech, this would likely be shortened to {ghanjaq chuS}). --- end quote --- You can see the object in question in this video (at around 33 seconds in): https://youtu.be/8gbj8SyvFSs?t=33 -- De'vID

I think the pun is the G in "MSG", since MSG is considered the archetypal umami food. Also, Klingons can see *na'ran rur* for "be sweet". >Date: Mon, 27 Feb 2023 14:55:00 +0000>From: Steven Boozer <sboozer(a)uchicago.edu> >Subject: Re: [tlhIngan Hol] Klingon Word of the Day: jIy>>Klingon Word of the Day for Sunday, February 26, 2023>>Klingon word: jIy >Part of speech: verb >Definition: be umami, be savory, be earthy >Source: qep'a' 26 [2019] >_______________________________________________ > >AFAIK never used in a sentence. > >FYI: Umami, or savoriness, is one of the "five basic tastes that bring a bit of a meaty flavor to food."
